TV service
interrupted
Heppner T.V. Inc. sevice
may be interrupted during the
priod of Feb. 27 through March
7 at approximately 12:30 to
12:39 p.m. daily due to solar in
terference. Other satellite chan
nels will be off for this reason
about 35 minutes later.
This interruption is due to
solar interference from which a
loss of satellite signal will occur.
Solar interference occurs in the
spring and fall of each year due
to orbital positions of the
satellite and the sun in one line
position. The earth station
receives signals from both, but
the more powerful sun sub
dues the desired signal, caus
ing a loss of sevice.
