Hi,
I would like to seek advice if possible from fellow members that have experienced satellite outage, if this is normal to have a long duration or should be short.
The TV station where I do work had recently a few weeks ago a LNB replaced for a brand new one, on one of the satellites that is receiving a newsfeed from a news network on Intelsat 11 using the encrypted SA receiver (receiver is authorized)
When the new LNB was installed about two weeks ago it works like a champ, Wednesday in the morning the receiver was without no signal, about 4 to 5 hours later the signal returned and the receive levels did return to normal.
This morning the signal level is o.k. but reception quality level is quite intermittent so the signal drops on and off but as the sun gradually rises the signal quality improves and the SA receiver tries to lock up the signal faster and gradually locks up right, but the signal level read out on the received is close to normal,
On Monday another satellite we do have at our facility that is pointed towards Galaxy 19 receiving also another feed it's signal also dropped completely from 7am to about 2pm, afterwards the signal gradually returned to normal, and there was no more dropouts or loosing the broadcast up to now.
Our location is the Caribbean located at the north side of Venezuela, dish size 12 feet (mesh type)
Can sun outage have such a severe effect on satellite reception ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Solar outages occur twice a year (in the Spring and Fall). It has been my experience that they last for only 10-15 minutes each day during the course of the outage and are most severe during the middle days of the outage. Here is more info on the outages themselves and a link to a solar outage calculator to determine when and how long they will last at your location. Just select a satellite, enter your dish size, type and location and click get location from address. Then scroll down to see the dates and times.

You're welcome!
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...

I bought the fixed color version of these bulbs for my store several years ago...work great and no more replacing ballast. Finally had one go out and when I went back to Amazon I saw that now they come in selectable versions so no more guess work as to what color light would do best in a certain area. They are now double OR single ended...used to be strictly one way or the other. If any of you are looking at replacing the old style 4 or 8 ft bulbs, you might want to give these a try. The 8 footers are BRIGHT. I put 5 in my shooting/target shed and you can get a decent tan if you are in there long enough.
