I had a problem with my Samsung TV. I contacted Samsung chat helpline. They took me through each step.

...ed up issues with tv signal. One thing could be the satellite dish is worn, or the surface is rusty? Other problems could be something called Solar noise. In Spain during March and April the sun causes radio frequency noise. This interrupts the signal. The dish needs to have a noise reduction filter applied. Just a thought but I think you need a tv guy to have a look at it or try the Samsung helpline? Best of luck.

What is a Satellite Solar Outage or Sun Outage?

Read more...

Sun outage (also known as sun interference or sun fade) is caused by the sun and occurs when the receiving earth station, satellite, and sun are all aligned. This is referred to as the conjunction of the sun and the satellite.When the Sun is directly behind a satellite from which an Earth station is attempting to receive or transmit data It usually happens twice a year, and earth stations install temporary or permanent guards to their receiving systems to prevent equipment damage.Satellite Solar Outage FundamentalThe phenomenon known as the “spacecraft Sun outage” occurs when solar radiation blocks out radio transmissions from a spacecraft. Because the ground station antenna cannot tell the difference between the Sun’s radiation and the signal it wants to send to the spacecraft, interferences like these develop.
