This is getting a bit off-topic, but Directv has larger hard drives and
even add-on extenders up to 4 TB, as well as a dedicated 4K channel
plus on-demand 4K. need a DVR server plus a 4K client box.

I’m wondering how much worse the problem will be as DirecTV goes to this new
technology that’s being advertised on TV-something about a wireless receiver.
I’ll have to pay more attention. It sounds like something that the girlfriend
may want to wait for. Right now her equipment is first-generation, and she
would like to have a DVR with larger capacity and a 4K-capable receiver for
whenever that becomes available.

You are, of course, absolutely correct Jim. Know that one model of the sat
receiver uses an RF remote of some sort that many think is the culprit.
Sadly the response from the, understandably RF clueless, sat help lines is
kind of like going to a doctor with the plea "it hurts to do this" and
response of "well don't do that."
I suspect nothing will change much until a 40m signal affects the sat
systems of the ham's neighbors resulting in a Part 15/97 brawl.

Problems like this are the result of design defects in the cable modem.
It should be possible to solve problems of this sort by winding multiple
turns of both the coax and the power cable #31 or #43 Fair-Rite toroids.
See
http://k9yc.com/KillingReceiveNoise.pdf
for part numbers and guidelines for winding. While the app note discusses
RX noise radiated from gear like this, the cures are the same
for both.
AND -- because it's the result of a defective modem (i.e. a bad design),
ALWAYS call the vendor and tell them to fix it.
