[RFI] Recent RFI status - Direct TV and Dish?

[Dave Hachadorian]

I've had DirecTV for about 10 years, and never had any noticeable 
issue with RFI from or to my own installation.  I can blast away 
with 1500 watts in a densely populated neighborhood, with no 
complaints. My neighbors have a mix of DirecTV, Dish, and Cable, 
and I haven't had any complaints from them, except in one 
instance.  In that case, my neighbor, who had DirecTV with a 
landline phone connection (required at that time to order 
pay-per-view) complained of RFI to all of her phones.  It turned 
out that the DirecTV receiver was rectifying the RF, and putting 
out garbled audio onto the phone line.  A Radio Shack version of 
the K-COM filter at the DirecTV receiver totally solved that 
problem.
