Thread: Installing a Dish 500 near an electric motor

Is it likely that I will receive any type of electrical interference from the motor? If so is there a general rule of thumb that could be used to determine the minimum distance I could place the dish from the motor and not receive any interference?

i rember reading somewhere that a minimum of 6 inches is needed when running any outher cable near electrical. so i thing u should be ok. trial and error i guess, if you do experience anything please post such info
