[LCC] DirecTV RFI

[Don AA5AU]

Thanks Marsh.

On a similar note, when I first got U-Verse, I was killing my TV's even when operating low power. With U-Verse, each TV has its own box and can either be fed with 75 ohm coax, like regular cable TV, or can be fed via Ethernet CAT5 or CAT6 cable. When I first started, I used the existing 75 ohm coax in the house. When I changed the feeds to each box from coax to CAT5 or CAT6 cable, the RFI went completely away. I still have a TV in the kitchen fed with coax that I still gets knocked out when I transmit and one of these days I'll get around to running the cable.

73, Don AA5AU
