A sun outage occurs when the apparent path of the Sun across the sky it directly behind the line of sight between an earth station and a satellite.

All satellites can be affect-ed by sun outages. A sun outage is a natural phenomenon and occurs every year. Sun outag-es usually occur one time in March, one time each in late September and early October.

The time for sun outage and signal interruption can vary depending on a satellite, size of TVRO receiver and lo-cation.

TV Channel and Radio pro-grams of the MRTV which uses Thaicom-6 can be affected by the sun outages from 25 Sep-tember to 5 October for three minutes to 18 minutes, accord-ing to the Myanma Radio and Television.
