Becker Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I recently switched from True to Sophon. True was regularly interupted due to rain but now the same thing has happened with Sophon (message on TV saying service interupted due to rain). How is this possible?

JESSVANPELT Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 They receive there signals from Satellites so the cloud mass could interrupt communications for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Heavy cloud or more likely heavy rain will cause rain fade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_fade The same can occur due to the sun. Sun outages. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_outage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaaSaparot Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Its the best forecast of rain on its way, that I know. I have TMN, and my picture goes out a good 20 minutes before the rain arrives. A Great Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The solution is to get cable if it's available. Otherwise just one of the small annoyances of living here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The solution is to get cable if it's available. Otherwise just one of the small annoyances of living here. The cable channels get a lot of their programs from Satellite so thats not really the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneyboy Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 There is no solution to rain fade or sun outages,or power cuts or flooding or crap customer service or many other things for that matter. It is as someone else said all part of living in this wonderful paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is as someone else said all part of living in this wonderful paradise. It is definitively something I can live with, I was just surprised that when swithcing from sat dish tv to cable I encounterede the same problems. But as someone pointed out Sophon get some of their channels via satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
