We have two Dish 501's and the third is a late model plain jane receiver.
Why is a late model receiver different than the older models?
Trying to keep this on topic, I never have had any RFI problems with any Dish
receiver, but our old Sony TV did. We switched to a Sony LCD a couple years
ago and it is clean. This summer I installed a Samsung small LCD here in the
shack and it too is RFI free. Now, I wish my neighbor would get rid of his
fancy lights and dimmer control, what an RFI generator.
