Ummm ... and how?  This is the conundrum [or maybe fallacy] in Part 15. 
  Unsuspecting and un-knowledgable consumers buy a product that they 
expect to work.  It appears to do so.  The idea that they are now 
responsible for mitigating interference from the product they bought in 
good faith is beyond stupid.  The real responsibility was with the 
manufacturer and/or seller.  Unfortunately, now days all they have to do 
is put a little sticker on the back of the device which no consumer will 
see, let alone understand, and they're home free.

My neighbors with the PTV are very busy, gone a lot, and while he 
understands what his TV does to my reception, I acknowledge his right to 
have that TV.  It isn't on very often, a solution for me.  He even asks 
me over the back fence if there's a big contest coming up, they have 
occasionally just chilled and read on their Kindles.  I'm lucky, and 
good friends with our neighbors.  We're going to keep it that way.
