All queries to you local Helplines please
There are scheduled to be two periods of solar interference affecting IS10-02 during the TX tests for War Horse on 26th & 27th February.
This solar interference is a natural phenomena and occurs twice a year, in the spring and in the autumn. Interruption of service may occur when the sun passes behind the satellite, as the satellite ground station (cinema), satellite and the sun are in complete alignment.
On the 26th February the interference is likely to start at 12:13GMT and could last for up to 7 minutes.
On the 27th February the interference is likely to start at 12:12GMT and could last for up to 10 minutes.
These predictions are based on a cinema positioned in London. It may not be exactly the same in your location. Interference you experience will be affected by your local conditions / antenna size etc.
NB: The main transmission in the evening of 27th February will not be affected.
Please ensure you read all of this posting including warnings below.

As you will be aware, severe weather conditions are affecting much of the UK this evening and strong winds / heavy rain can impact the reception of satellite signals.
The Royal Opera House has taken every measure possible to minimise these events but
nevertheless there may be brief losses of transmission during the performance
as a result. We apologise in advance for these possible outages, but hope you
understand the extreme nature of the weather this evening. We hope this does
not impact too much on your enjoyment of this opera.
Following the Met Office red wind warning for much of the UK. You are strongly advised not to attempt a repair or repositioning your antenna if it is affected by the weather. This could be highly dangerous and should be left to a professional with the correct safety and access equipment.
