Satellite TV Solar Outage Time Again - October 2022 - You may lose channels for a few minutes each morning

Satellite Solar Outage Time Again - October 2022

It is that time of year again when the Sun / Solar Outage can affect the power of satellite signals your satellite dish is receiving, resulting in a loss of some of the more weaker UK TV channels.

This is information for people who may be experiencing this for the first time, and a nice reminder for those that have lived here before

This occurrence happens in March and October for a couple of weeks every year, around the time of the Spring and Autumn equinox. In the northern hemisphere, sun outages occur before the March equinox (February, March) and after the September equinox (September and October).

This "satellite solar outage" happens at around 10.30 - 11.30 am and can last for upto 20 minutes.

Why there is no such thing as WiFi Internet

Why there is no such thing as WiFi Internet.

You often see requests from people on Facebook and forums from people asking if they can recommend a "wifi company" or a "wifi internet provider" for their area, when in fact there are no such things!

WiFi (or rather the official "Wi-Fi" as per its trademark) and "internet" are two completely separate things.

But is just one example of todays misuse of technical terminology, where the term "WiFi" has become a bit of a catch-all term for internet systems.

(In the same way that many people incorrectly use the term "Freeview" to describe any form of UK TV, when in fact "Freeview" is the system for UK TV via a TV aerial, not a satellite dish!)

There is "WiFi ".

There is "wireless internet".

But there is no "WiFi internet".

Let me explain the huge difference.
