[Elecraft] Dish/Direct TV RFI?

[Dave Hachadorian]

I have had DISH for about three years, and it has been bullet-proof, with me running 1500 watts in contests on all HF bands.  I've turned off power in the house several times to find potential sources of RFI, and the DISH equipment has never been found to radiate RFI.  Before DISH, I had DirecTV, and that was not a problem either.  My immediate neighbor had an old DirecTV box with a landline telephone line connected to it so she could order pay-per-view movies.  That phone connection generated terrible RFI to all the other telephones in her house.  A KCom filter on that line solved the problem.

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.
