Brief Scheduled Fox HD outage on Sunday

At regular times each Spring and Fall,  the sun goes into in direct alignment with the satellite receivers and plays havoc on broadcast signals. To avoid that, some broadcasters switch to secondary/backup satellite receivers temporarily.  

Fox6 will be doing that early this Sunday afternoon, and in so doing will lose their HD signal capabilities for about 15 to 30 minutes and the picture will shift to 4:3. Fortunately, the Packer game will be on Monday night, so that won't be affected, but if you're watching the early Fox NFC game, expect that brief outage during the game.
