Don't be surprised , but I think your RFI issues are with
under counter lighting and the 20 khz. transformer used to power these 
horrible rfi generating devices and not from a satellite system.

This comes from my personal experience  with these devices and how far reaching 
these devices emit RFI in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Starting at 20khz and every harmonic there after, all the way passed 30mhz. tese devices
radiate and RFI signal .

Esay to find with a portable  AM broadcast radio tuned to the high end of the band
above 1700 khz.
Because the AM broadcast signals cover up most of the offending RFI unless you are 
within 25 feet of the offending RFI device. 

Good Luck.
