[RFI] VDSL (very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line)

[Dale J.]

LOL!!.  We have Dish network here along with Comcast for internet, never had any problem with RF in or out and I operate all bands except 30 and 160 at max power when needed. Your neighbor probably needs new feed line from the dish antenna to the TV.
