Not necessarily, even if there is interference.  [He's not 
transmitting, so he shouldn't bother you, right?]  And if you have a 
clean signal being emitted from a federally-licensed station, and it 
interferes with his reception, then HE is the one who is "hosed"!  
Actually, he is the one who needs to get together with his DirectTV 
people to solve his problems.  There probably won't be any.
