The RF modulators in your VCR and satellite receiver should not be set
to the same RF channel, nor should either device be set to an RF
channel that is in use by a local TV station. In fact, choose channel
numbers which are as far apart as is convenient. Avoid adjacent
channels if at all possible. For example, UHF 36 and 40 would be a
better choice than UHF 36 and 37.

This easy-to-read document talks about interference problems (and
remedies) in my locale:
