About Satellite Television

Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth.

On rare occasions, heavy rain, snow, or cloud cover can block the satellite signal, which can interrupt the programming service. The service will return after the weather condition has passed.

Twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, the sun moves to a position behind the satellites as they orbit the Earth. Solar interference lasts for a few minutes a day for a few days.This is an unavoidable natural event for all television involving the use of satellites. During these brief periods, you will not be able to see programs, but once the sun has moved from behind the satellite, the programs will reappear.

About MDU

Your apartment, condominium or other clustered housing is defined as a Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU).

Your television signal is transmitted to you through master multiplexing distribution equipment located in a central area in your dwelling complex. This distribution equipment is owned and maintained by the dwelling complex owners or managers.

The distribution equipment receives the satellite signals using a single master antenna and distributes the signal to each dwelling unit through a pre-wired wall outlet. When you purchase your receiver, have it connected and activated, you will receive your subscribed programming.
