Can sunlight wipe out a sattelite TV signal?

And why does it always (and only) happen when there is bike racing on?

And why, when it does come back for five minutes, is it only during the
adverts or after the race is over?

 

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember steve auvache
<> saying something like:

Yes, as the sun passes behind the satellite. Fucking good job too, else
you'd be exposed to the wrath of the Sun God while sitting watching
telly and you don't want that to happen too often, I can tell you.

Cunning ploy by the Men In Suits.

Another CP by the MIS.
