> I am a satellite hobbyist. I have huge dishes in my yard. I keep all my receivers in a separate roon inside a faraday cage. The receivers themselvesare what cause a lot of people trouble imo. The frequencies that hit the dish go through the cable and bring all those frequencies into the house. I can take a C-band cable and split it and hook one cable up to the C-band receiver and the other to my m-peg receiver. I can unplug the cable to the m-peg receiver and leave it many inches away from the receiver input and it can still receive the channels just not at such a high quality. If it put myhand in between the cable and the input on the receiver I will lose those channels. It is almost wireless, no connection required. Those same frequencies are being put into the air in the room where the receiver is at. Hencethe need to put the receiver into a room where you don't spend much time in and put it inside a faraday cage. I myself use smart home technology
> which allows me to use infra red remotes. It is the dwireless remotes that go through walls that will make you very ill. Infra red is no problem. You need the smart home technology to change channels from other rooms so you can put your receiver in a seldom used room. I have not had cable in years and I'm not sure if they have a box or receiver. If they do then it probably doesn't make that much difference. If it is the kind of cable that has no receiver but just comes from a cable from the outside then that is probably best imo.
