Why do we have trouble with getting reception from Campus Cable during bad weather?
Campus Cable receives its programming from a satellite provider. The digital signals provided are approximately the same size as a raindrop. As a storm intensifies, the rain creates a curtain affect, making it difficult for the signals to pass through. Campus Cable uses the highest quality satellite equipment but has seen effects of this only in the worst conditions. This causes a tiling affect or “little squares” as referred to by some students. During a loss of signal (SEARCHING FOR SATELLITE SIGNAL) will appear on the screen until the storm passes.
