It's almost friday!
Have been noticing that some channels are going out everymorning around 11 am pacific and realized that we are getting close to the spring equinox.
At this time (and in the fall) the sun rides the sky right behind the row of satellites beaming info to us here on earth.
The sun being the strongest broadcaster around causes it to briefly override the satellite signal. I notice it more on channels that have a low signal strength, but then I don't watch much tv in the morning (other than on ecm fridays).
So before you think that hashing has started see if the sun is casting a direct shadow on your dish, it might just be mother nature flexing some muscle.
