2) for about 8 days about 2 weeks ago, sunspots effect channels 2-78. couldn't tell you why, but they do, and it happens every year. (of course, my problem has been since June, so its not the sunspots).
FYI it's not sunspots, it's actually the angle of the sun, it shines directly on the satellites and "blinds" the dishes. There's no way it could be sunspots BTW, they are even more unpredictable then Mediacom's phone service.
Sun outages happen on random "blocks" of channels but only 2x per year and usually gets fuzzy then goes completley out then get fuzzy and is normal.
