Title: Beware the evil Sun!
Post by Administrator on Mar 1^st, 2012, 1:01pm

Satellite TV users beware the evil sun!

Twice a year, the sun hides behind your chosen satellite. This causes a brief loss of programmes because, believe it or not, the sun is more powerful than Astra (or Eutelsat, or Atlantic Bird3)!

There is a web-site which predicts when, and for how long, you will loose your precious feeds.

It can be found here.

It is a simple matter entering your location, dish size, selected satellite, and finally your mother's maiden-name, your blood-group and inside leg measurement.....

This period of obfuscation is highly accurate.
