Page 7: About Satellite Television
SOLAR INTERFERENCE Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the Bell ExpressVu satellite as it orbits the Earth. The exact time of the year that this occurs varies, depending on the location, but it is near the beginning of spring and again near the beginning of autumn. - Page 8 This is an unavoidable natural event for all television involving the use of satellites and has an adverse effect on many program providers. During these brief periods, you will not be able to see programs on Bell ExpressVu. Once the sun has moved from behind the satellite, the programs will reappear.
