This occurrence can temporarily affect all television services transmitted via satellite. Typically, sun outages are predictable, and we will notify viewers through our <a href="/reception/works-warnings">Works and Warning pages</a> when one is expected that may impact our satellite services.</p></div> <span><span>Jane.Frydenlund</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-08-12T14:21:35+01:00" title="Tuesday 12 August 2025">12 August 2025</time> </span> Tue, 12 Aug 2025 13:21:35 +0000 Jane.Frydenlund 14532 at http://bbc-reception.local
