Foxtel went off air Thurs morning 5am approx for a short
time with a notice saying it was due to solar activity.

This just shows that Foxtel's Public Media types don't understand the
technology that they use..... Sun Outages happen twice a year for a
couple of days in a row each time. The Sun's Track lines up behind the
GeoSync Sats position, in relation to the receiving Antenna, and the
sun's noise overwhelms the Signal in the receiver. This whole deal is
nothing NEW, just misunderstood by the Bloody Wonk, who wrote the Press
Release....
