We have asked several technicians, who tell us it does not interfere. But, how do I know if they are experts. Could someone please help. We live in a mountain area and we can't get tv reception unless we have satellite tv or cable.

It might be theoretically possible, but extremely unlikely. The only real way your dish could be interfering with his air signal is with the LNB in your dish sending out a spurious signal because of some problem. Even then, his antenna would have to be located almost directly in front of your dish, as the dish would send any signals like this back up towards the satellite.
A call to your satellite provider should clear things up along these lines. They can assure you that this is really not a concern and possibly talk to your neighbor and reassure him.
It really sounds like something changed in his antenna system and he doesn't know how it works and is just looking for someone to blame.

The only way to fix it is to replace it. The existing antenna system is probably about 10yrs old. A new digital compliant antenna is not as expensive as you might think. You may get lucky and not need to buy an amplifier if there is only 1 or 2 TV outlet points in the house. Other than that , you will always have them complain until the antenna gets replaced because you can only ever boost what signal is being received by the existing antenna , so if it is a poor quality antenna you can bet it receives poor quality signal. The cheapest method to fix it is : To replace the existing antenna with a new one and if there is more than 2 TV outlet points in the house , you can disable them and run just 1 or 2 TV points (this should save you having to buy an amplifier to boost signal enough to run 3 or more TV points). Start with the antenna and see how it goes from there. If their neighbours have antennas on big poles you may need to contact a TV Tech to come and install it for you , but before you do ring some-one , have a go yourself because signals do move over time and it may no longer require being on a 15' pole. Sometimes height is not the answer. Good luck and I hope I could help you out.

It is possible yes but unfortunately you need it because of where you live seek an expert opinion to see if it could be placed in a better place so as not to interfere with your neighbour reception if not it looks like tough look to your neighbour but at least you can tell him you tried :)

satellites on on different signal than air waves you can pick up with coat hanger and alum foil
do you have a local antenna like your neighbors that will interfere with his air wave signal

Sounds like your neighbor could use some psychiatric help.

i guess it could be possible, but he can't make you do anything about it. It's his problem.
