Due to “Sun Outages” some TV signals may experience signal degradation from October 4th until October 12th.
Signal degradation can cause pixelated picture, picture freezes and/or audio distortions, and they can last anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.
The interruptions do not affect all channels and are an unavoidable side effect of content providers using satellite down-links to distribute their TV Channels. To read more, go to the following link:
