3 Introduction to Mobile Satellite TV
3.4 Line of Sight (LOS) Interruption
The Skybox needs a clear line of sight
(LOS), or view to the satellite for uninter-
rupted reception. Objects such as buildings,
mountains, bridges, tunnels, overhead road
signs and trees that block this view will
cause a loss of signal (Figure 3-2). The sig-
nal will, however, be quickly restored once
the antenna has a clear LOS again.
3-2 Obstacles Blocking Signal
Heavy rain, snow or ice may also interfere
with the signal reception. Stray signals from
radio or television broadcast towers may also
affect the satellite signal.
