Yes, it happens a couple of times a year, when the receiving dish, the sat, and the Sun are in direct alignment, and lasts for a few minutes.
yup re: satellites & dishes, etc.!

Interesting...
Last year I wanted to TiVo that on my direct TV receiver.
I have Starry Night Pro 5.0, and can get the satellite ephemeris (which for a geostationary satellite are really “permaneris”) from the help menu on the receiver and then find out when the sun crosses. Should be a fun experiment.
I once spent some time looking at an S-Band radar A-Scope display for an increase in noise in the morning as it scanned in the direction of the sun, but have to admit that I was disappointed.
