RTRS: the complete disappearance of television and radio on March 8 in the Russian Federation is unlikely – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, March 5 – RIA Novosti. Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS) does not exclude short-term deterioration of signal reception in certain regions of Russia because of the spring sun interference, but notes that the simultaneous interruption Broadcast across the country is not possible, especially because there is an automatic system that allows you to quickly compensate for television reception in the case of significant violations of broadcast signal.

Earlier, the media reported that in the cities of Russia on March 8 may temporarily abyss of television and radio and it is connected with the advent of spring interference.

“RTRS considers it necessary to clarify that the interference – a phenomenon that when the Sun, a communications satellite and terrestrial repeater receiving antenna are built on the same line . Sun – a powerful source of radio – have exactly behind the satellite communication also “sends” a terrestrial repeater signal. This signal can cause short-term – once a day for up to a minute – the deterioration of the reception quality in some areas of the country. On television screens may appear subtle “noise” image and sound “- told RIA Novosti press-service of the organization.

Branches RTRS accept and relay TV signals with different communication satellites. Each of its geostationary satellites orbit, respectively, different start and end interference noted in the organization.

“Thus, the simultaneous degradation of TV reception in many regions of Russia, in principle, impossible. To a significant deterioration television reception (up to signal failure) requires a confluence of a number of factors, including weather conditions in a particular region and the state of the receiver at the viewer. This coincidence is rather unlikely and certainly can not be extended to a significant number of regions “, – stressed in the press service of the RTRS.

In the organization also recalled that” in the RTRS created and operates the automatic backup system television broadcasting, which allows you to quickly compensate for television reception in the case of significant violations of the broadcast signal, as was done in the emergency situation with SC “Express-AM33″ and it would be done in the event of a threat of loss of signal in the case of interference, but such a threat, we repeat, no. “

“RTRS publishes information about the periods of solar interference in order to reduce the anxiety of viewers in the event of interference,” – added in the press-service.

The site RTRS noted that during the spring of interference occurs in late February – early March, in connection with which “blue screens may appear subtle” noise “of image and sound, but at the peak of solar interference is possible and complete loss of radio television”.
