Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can
reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt
your programming service. Your service will
return after the weather condition has passed.
Aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest
signal during installation, will help prevent rain
and snow from interrupting the signal.

NTERFERENCE
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellite as it
orbits the Earth. This event occurs during a few
days at the beginning of the spring
and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a
few minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able
to see programs on DISH Network.
When the sun has moved from behind the
satellite, the programs will reappear. This is
an unavoidable natural event for all television
involving the use of satellites and has an adverse
effect on many program providers.
