Had Dish-NET for several years and switched to Direct-TV two years 
ago during a time there was contract dispute between Ch.13 
(Anchorage) and Dish-NET that threatened that they would not carry 
the network programming.  We are 65-90 miles from the TV stations 
which makes digital TV not watchable from off-air reception.

No RFI either way from the mw satellite system but the new Direct-TV 
receiver switching PS gets into my 2m receiver.  Fortunately, I am 
not using 2m when watching TV.  We power-off the AC to the 
entertainment equipment when not using it (saves power consumption over time).

I suppose some ferrites and shielding the separate switcher would solve this.
