Q?
Co-channel
-
A.
Occasionally, and also during certain times of the year, we may experience co-channel on local broadcast stations. Atmospheric conditions allow the unwanted reception of a distant broadcast station that interferes with our local broadcast signal. This causes lines and possibly images of the distant signal imposed on our local signal. As technology improves and more digital signals become available from our local broadcast providers, co-channel interference will no longer be a problem.

Q?
“Sun Spots” or “Sun Outages”
-
A.
This natural phenomenon occurs in the spring and fall every year. At the same time each day for about a week the sun is in line with the satellites from which we receive programming and our receiving equipment on earth. This causes fuzziness, sparkles, and even loss of programming that will last 5 to 15 minutes. Local channels are not affected.
