How can your TV go out for ten minutes a few minutes ago?

Why would anyone who lives in tornado country rely on Ku Band
satellite for weather information?

I have other tv sets too that I can use to pick up the local tv
channels.Small tv sets and larger tv sets.I own about eight tv sets of
different sizes,some of them can run on batteries (and car batteries)
too.

DirecTV Satellite dish on my roof pointing at a bird way up there in the
Southwestern Sky (or near Earth orbit,whatever it's called) and heavy
thunderstorms obstructing my signal.It doesn't happen often though.

Yes, but just HOW does a tv set shut off for ten minutes a few minutes
ago? Is there a warp in the fabric of the space/time continuum?

Heavy cloud cover obstructs/blocks the satellite signal.No signal,no
audio and no video (except for a blue band across the bottom of the tv
screen that says Searching For Signal,or something like that) either,so
the tv screen goes dark and quiet.Sometimes though,the heavy cloud cover
isn't qute heavy enough to completly obstruct/block the satellite signal
and there are big stop action pixels on the tv screen and the
video/images on screen look as though they are frozen in place untill
the satellite dish antenna can pick up a better signal and the audio
sounds like it is breaking up,sort of like somebody loseing their cell
phone signal.

I believe that a 'few minutes' is two, three, even four minutes. After
that, we use numbers. My wondering was, just how can a tv set be off
for ten minutes when it only turned OFF a few minutes ago. You knew how
long the set was off when it came back to life. How can it be off longer
than the distance back in time when it went out?

I can understand a set turning off ten minutes ago for a few minutes,
but NOT the other way around.

In case anyone wonders, I AM considering getting a life.

Is that possible? I mean, you being in CanaDuh, that hardly sounds plausible.
