Severe storms or very heavy rain to the South-to-Southwest of your location may interrupt satellite reception until the storm clears or moves. Cloudiness or average rain should not interrupt your service.

Without the Angus tag you may not have access to CACP-organized fall feeder sales, or branded Angus programs across Canada.

In the dry season there is a low probability that your DStv system will be affected by weather. In the rainy season severe rain may interrupt reception for brief periods, and cause a temporary loss of picture quality.

Two LEDs indicate the operational state of the NeoClock receiver module. The red, flashing LED indicates correct function of the receiver electronics; the green LED indicates error-free reception of the DCF77 signal.

It should have no effect. Our carrier signal over the power lines is at a much lower frequency than satellite communications.

First and foremost, ensure that your Sirius antenna has a clear line of sight to the sky. Any obstructions could cause dropouts or even a complete inability to acquire a signal. As the antenna is weather resistant, positioning it outside could help provide clearer and more consistent reception. In addition, the direction in which the antenna is aimed could help to improve your signal.

No. Please note that the University does not permit installation of satellite dishes and external or internal cabling to any campus properties.

Not always, however a Satellite Finder can greatly reduce the time it takes to locate the required satellite, and does not have the time delay associated with just using the inbuilt "Digibox" signal meter.

No. The satellite system works on a different transmission band (1000 ? 2000 MHz), so the device is not compatible.

The use of a satellite finder and a compass can aid in finding a satellite. The Viewsat also has an on screen signal strength indicator.

Yes, a program NeoStat.Exe is included in the software, which provides a statistical overview of DCF77 signal reception.

Our signal will penetrate the walls of most buildings. It will not pass through live trees, but is unaffected by plastic trees. The general rule of thumb is that the radio signal will pass through anything that doesn't contain water or metal.

Signal strength will be affected if the wireless LAN card or Access Point is placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. If there is obstacles in the radio signal path between the Access Point and wireless LAN card, radio signal may either be absorbed or reflected. The coverage will hence be decreased. In addition, other products that operate in the 2.4GHz radio spectrum, including microwave ovens and some cordless phones, may cause interference.

The satellite, signal quality, and all others parameters are listed here. You can also compare them with the correct value .

Do these antenna recommendations take terrain into account? I live in a mountainous area and reception can be difficult.

Yes, apart from India the DD Direct signal is available in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and parts of Myanmar and Afghanistan.

Short answer, No. However, your speed may decrease by up to 50% during torrential downpours of 6" per hour or more. Luckily, this type of rain is very rare in our coverage areas. Wireless links are not affected by fog, smog, snow or non-torrential rain.

Satellite phones are suitable for most weather conditions, although severe weather (i.e. heavy rain or snow) may diminish the signal strength from the satellite network.
