Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming.

This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to follow it. Heavy rain, snow, or cloud cover can block the satellite signal, which can interrupt your programming service. By aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest signal during installation, you can help prevent rain and snow from interrupting the signal. Your service will return after the weather condition has passed.

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. 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.
