The television poor reception is not due to the cable operators but due to the sun. The next two weeks you will still see your screen hazy or pixilated. The hazy screen is due to the solar activity of the sunspots. Sunspots are natural occurrence and the reason behind the disruptions.

The dark spots in the surface of the sun are called sunspots.

The reason behind the sunspots is intensive magnetic activity of the sun. The TV is not affected you need not switch off your set up boxes during the disruption. The sunspots will affect mostly the Dth services and only the transmissions by cable operators. The disturbances of TV will continue to last for 5 to 15 minutes.

The impact will be seen across the 105 million homes. The information was got from the Tata institute of fundamental research. The magnetic field of the earth is formed due to the sunspots of the sun. The more sunspots the magnetic field is more charged and flares are released in the space. The cable operators are not more affected because of the physical network provided by them.

Northrop Grumman and EADS said the terms of the Pentagon tender “clearly favour” US aerospace giant Boeing.
