I’m wondering how much worse the problem will be as DirecTV goes to this new technology that’s being advertised on TV-something about a wireless receiver. I’ll have to pay more attention. It sounds like something that the girlfriend may want to wait for. Right now her equipment is first-gener

You are, of course, absolutely correct Jim. Know that one model of the sat receiver uses an RF remote of some sort that many think is the culprit. Sadly the response from the, understandably RF clueless, sat help lines is kind of like going to a doctor with the plea "it hurts to do this" and respo

For multiple reasons we dumped satellite TV.  Cable service was gone 10 years ago. While the DSS receiver and its associated power supply didn't give me any issues, I found the plastic box in which the receiver was contained offered little to no shielding from my HF transmitters.  Specifically

Thanks everyone for responding!  When you only have one cable network in your area they pretty much can charge what they want. Been with them since the late 80's, but 2 increases in 3 months is a little much.  I don't use them for internet or phone thank goodness, just TV. 73, Reed  W4JZ _

John described RFI from the wall wart switching supply and such supplies are both notorious RFI generators and are ubiquitous.  Our DirecTV receiver/DVR is completely quiet on HF and as far as I can test, on VHF and UHF as well.  I've never interfered with it on any band, even when I was runnin
