Dish/Direct TV RFI?
Locked
 
|
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.

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.

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

We have Direct ...
Heavy WX between here and satellite can occasionally block signal, but not often enough to be significant. Snow on dish / feed can be an occasional problem. Mine can be reached w/10' piece of plastic pipe to dislodge snow and is almost a necessity. No RFI issues all. FWIW 73!

Fred speaks the truth, and is correct.
K0PP - Direct TV via satellite subscriber. Our DirecTV receiver/DVR is completely quiet on HF and as far as I can test, on VHF > and UHF as well.

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: https://www.nk7z.net/rfi-snapshots/ Please send it OFF LIST if you would. 73s and thanks, Dave NK7Z https://www.nk7z.net On 03/14/2018 08:28 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > I have Dish and there is no interference to it when transmitting on the HF > bands.
