None seen here! Had had both Dish-Net and Direct-TV. Old 1.8m dish
was mounted about 30-foot from my 16-foot eme dish where I run 125w
on 1296. No problems even with big dish pointed at the sat-TV dish.
My HF antennas are above the ham shack which other side of bedroom
wall from 46-inch Samsung TV (which uses home theater system). 6m
does get into the subwoofer (audio rectification) when I run 80w+
(my wife just turns off the subwoofer if I am on 6m). I tried
wrapping audio cables thru a big ferrite donut (no help). New 1.2m
dish on the roof is about 40-feet away from my HF tower: Hygain
tribander and 80/40m inverted-V. My 630m inverted-L wire passes over
the dish about 20-feet above it.
I have both K3 and KX3,
Once you go with satellite-TV you will never chose cable again. They
aren't perfect but the local dealer gets out pretty fast if you have
tech problems. We mainly use sat-TV for watching local news&wx
(Anchorage - 70mi North of us) and network programs (NBC, ABC, CBS,
PBS) which are linked from local stations thru the satellite. Now
that air broadcasts are digital, signal is too weak to use a TV
antenna (I'd rather use tall towers for ham radio).
Both Dish-Net and Direct-TV receive near 11-GHz microwave so are
pretty much insensitive to most ham frequencies (I currently operate
up to 1296).

Subject: [Elecraft] Dish/Direct TV RFI?
Has anyone had trouble with RFI, receive or transmit, with Dish or
Direct TV.? I have cable through Comcast & tired of their rate increases
so thought I give satellite a try since looks like more bang for the buck.
Thanks,
