Sun influences TV viewing

"Did you know that twice a year, the Sun can influence your TV viewing?"

When I first heard this on an ad on TV, I thought maybe they were meaning that the Sun made you watch more romantic comedies than normal or something like that? But no! Apparently:

'When satellites come directly in line with the Sun, this causes temporary signal interference which may effect your OSN reception.'

Totally a thing, it seems! Until 20th March. Never heard of that happening in NZ? Or the UK? But *shrug*. Whatever.

[Happens late in the afternoon for 5 or 10 mins. DOES NOT explain why TV freezes every now and then and get no signal. Pain in the ass. Damn you digital/cable OSN or whatever you are!]
