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-gener
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

For multiple reasons we dumped satellite TV. Cable service was gone 10
years ago.
While the DSS receiver and its associated power supply didn't give me
any issues, I found the plastic box in which the receiver was contained
offered little to no shielding from my HF transmitters. Specifically

Thanks everyone for responding! When you only have one cable network in
your area they pretty much can charge what they want. Been with them
since the late 80's, but 2 increases in 3 months is a little much. I
don't use them for internet or phone thank goodness, just TV.

If anyone has an SDR, or P3 image of Direct TV RFI I would love an image
of it for my RFI Snapshot page at:

Please send it OFF LIST if you would.

Both Dish-Net and Direct-TV receive near 11-GHz microwave so are

John described RFI from the wall wart switching supply and such supplies
are both notorious RFI generators and are ubiquitous. Our DirecTV
receiver/DVR is completely quiet on HF and as far as I can test, on VHF
and UHF as well. I've never interfered with it on any band, even when I

Satellite will give tv but what about internet upload download speeds latency

I have Dish and there is no interference to it when transmitting on the HF
bands. During heavy rain storms there is occasional signal loss and I
suppose if you live in areas with a lot of snow you could have similar
issues.

Hi Reed
YES ! DirecTV receivers are horrible racket makers.
#1 I built a new power cord for the receivers wired into a 12V ASTRON regulated
12v supply. No More Switcher Wall Warts allowed at my QTH.
#2 The HDMI cable from the Rcvr to the TV set has 12 turns through a stack of
TWO of the 2.4"
I tracked down some receive RFI to a Dish Joey Ethernet connection. Unplugging
the cable and switching it to use WiFi instead resolved it.

Has anyone had trouble with RFI, receive or transmit, with Dish or
Direct TV. I have cable through Comcast & tired of their rate increases
so thought I give satellite a try since looks like more bang for the buck.
