That is, if your TV-watching experience greatly revolves around daytime television shows.
In an email sent to Optimum TV customers, Cablevision noted its TV service would experience brief moments of interruption between Wednesday and March 8.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems=”3″ title=”Also read”]
Cablevision said these are the result of a phenomenon known as “sun outages,” interruptions in satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation. The interference is caused when the sun is in direct line with a communication satellite and the sun’s radiation overwhelms the satellite signal. Sun outages occur biannually, in the fall and the spring.
Most of the outages will occur between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day, and last for a maximum of 12 minutes. During those times, Cablevision says viewers may experience interference with picture quality and sound. Sun outages do not affect Internet or phone service.
Cablevision released an expansive spreadsheet of which channels will be affected at what times and for how long over the next few days.
