BOUT ATELLITE
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.
Rain and Snow Fade
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.
