HAHA funniest thing I have heard- its random.Its not random at all.Because of clouds and rain, the signal is weakened and so we can't get a signal.As one person said " have got signals in heavy rains, and got no signal at all under clear skies."First of all, the signals are uplinked to Tata Sky's satellite from a center in Delhi.If the sky is clear in your city but its raining heavily in Delhi, you will have signal problems because the signals cannot be uplinked to the satellite at the center in Delhi.Secondly, there are many factors which affect signal, apart from rain and cloud cover, sun outage is also one factor. Even though proper sun outage only occurs a few times a yr, partial sun outage occurs nearly everyday. On some days, the solar radiation will affect the signals much more than on other days and you'll experience weaker signals.Thirdly, sometimes even though it is raining heavily, you will receive a good signal. I am not sure how or why it happens.
Signal lost of 5 min in just last 1 week

" have got signals in heavy rains, and got no signal at all under clear skies."
Both the lines were by me.
First of all, the signals are uplinked to Tata Sky's satellite from a center in Delhi.
If the sky is clear in your city but its raining heavily in Delhi, you will have signal problems because the signals cannot be uplinked to the satellite at the center in Delhi.
Cannot be. The receiver is on a small dish, not the uploader

Only total Sun outage causes a disruption, not the partial ones.
Thirdly, sometimes even though it is raining heavily, you will receive a good signal. I am not sure how or why it happens.
Exactly the point. If it can work well under heavy rains or rather, unclear skies, then why not under clear ones

Why cannot it be? The signals are uploaded via the same technology used to download the signals by our dish and receiver.
Partial ones can cause disruption. It is solar radiation which interferes with the electromagnetic waves that are transferring the signals, at times, when the intereference can be destructive, even with partial ones.

It isn't just about the technology, there is something called strength too. Uploads are done with much higher signal strengths than what is received by the mini dishes at the customer's end.

But i think a the base station, they will be have specialized equipments to upload the signals to the satellite.. If there are worst weather conditions in Delhi, why should other suffer with signal outages... i do not think this is true...That means on Monsoon time in Delhi, the whole india will be affected with weak signals...:O:O

Hey, have not you seen the big dishes kept in the transmission offices??? I just saw this Chennai SD Office.. with BIG Dishes and satellite up linkers.

It is not the size of dish which matters.
Its whether you use Ku Band signals or C band signals, and on the frequency of the waves.
Tata Sky uses KU band signals, which are effected more by rain than C band signals.
Remember during IPL, during one of the matches when the IPL had just begun this yr, it was raining in the Stadium. The picture was cutting and it looked just like what happens when it rains in our city and our signals are disrupted.
I thought it was some problem with TS only but then you heard the commentators, they said, we're sorry for the signal disruption, due to cloud cover over the stadium we are having difficulties in broadcasting signals to you properly. The stadiums and HUGE dishes which broadcast signals to satellite, then why was the signal being disrupted?
Same thing happened in some other cricket match, in another country (I don't remember where) and they said the same thing.

May be as you said it is due to the fact KU band or C Band...matters here..I did not completely mean the big dishes will give stronger signals..But i did see your question has been answered here already..But it seems you have answered yourself for the doubts raised here...================================Originally Posted by pranay91 Why cannot it be?
