Said by Transmaster:
This is true, but it only happens twice a year when the Sun for the few days it takes it to transit behind the orbits of the Geo Synchronous satellites. The outage will last for about 15 minutes or less. If they use this excuse
at any other time of the year they are feeding you a line

And this is because the sun is in the same position as the ground satelight, and the one in space, so what happens is the radiation from the sun hits the dish on the ground at the right angle, and interrupts the signal from space.
