Sun related Satellite Interference this week may cause the Isles-Bruins game on Saturday to lose its signal during the 2nd period..
the estimated time for this outage is expected to be from 2:11pm - 2:23 pm
this affects ALL PROIVDERS.
Interruption in TV service due to sun outages can last up to several minutes.
During this time, you may experience interference with picture quality and sound when watching television.
no you wont avoid edwards.. those times are speciific to the msg plus feed only.. the boston feed will have their own time where they will be hit with an outage as well.. this issue affects EVERY TV NETWORK, at varying times over the next 8 days.. usually between 1pm and 5pm.. it just happens that the MSG signal is going to be affected between those 2 times on saturday
cablevision released a time chart showing every network's time for sun interference over the next 8 days..
Would be better if the outage occurred between 1 and 4. That way the ugliness of what happens on the ice will never be seen except for the people at TD Garden. The day the Bruins beat the Isles 15-0 will be like the Ruth called shot. Only those in the building could vouch for it's validity.
solar flare heh? who knows how accurate the forecasts for solar flares are...
apparently in austria the weather forecast is only accurate 30% of the time 3 days in advance (this is a rough figure of course). Considering the limited data on solar flares, as well as a very limited amount of measuring stations in orbit, i am not sure how predictable a solar flare really is. The only way i could imagine that it really is a given that interference will knock out the tv signal on saterday is if the solar flare already took place and simply needs time to travel across the 8 light minutes from the sun to earth. A little OT

That's what it is. The solar flare is not the light, but the particles. We can see the light from the eruption right away, but then the particles come much later. I would think this is much more predictable than the weather.

bingo.
It is a lot more predictable than the weather. Weather has a million variables and they're constantly changing.
With CME's there is only the magnitude of the ejection and the distance to earth. Oh, and we can see the magnetic fields bunching in advance so we'll know when it's going to pop.

yup, i didnt know the particles travel so "slowly" that they need 4 days. But in this case it is very predictable of course. Especially because we will have prior experience with similar solar flares.
as i said earlier, the NESN feed will have an outage at a different time.. this outage is time specific for MSG+ .. NESN, like every other tv network will experience it at another time.. since cablevision doesnt carry NESN, i cant give you a timetable for their outage...
