Conflict between Orbi and digital TV antenna
I have found interferrence between Orbi and my digital TV antenna. If the Orbi Satellite is too close to the TV, the tuner is stuck on one channel, with audio & video going in and out - and I have lo...
Yes, you should keep Orbi away from other RF devices. They can interfere, even if the devices use different frequencies.
The satellite is turning amber because the signal became poor. The RF singl-to-noise ratio will vary over time, so this is not unusual. It also means if the satellite turned blue once it doesn't mean everything is good. You need a signal strong enough such that it's still good, even when the signal varies on the low side.
If the TV antenna is the issue, you should also have the option of moving the antenna farther away from the TV and Orbi, by using a longer length of coax cable to attach the antenna to the TV.

I also think that 65 feet is quite long distance to have a stable wireless backhaul connection between router and satellite. If possible and doable please try getting them closer or add another satellite in between.
