he receipt of the challenge-
(i) terminate service to that household of the signal that is the
subject of the challenge, and within 30 days thereafter notify the
network station that made the challenge that service to that household
has been terminated; or
(ii) conduct a measurement of the signal intensity of the subscriber's
household to determine whether the household is an unserved household
after giving reasonable notice to the network station of the satellite
carrier's intent to conduct the measurement.
(B) Effect of measurement. If the satellite carrier conducts a signal
intensity measurement under subparagraph (A) and the measurement
indicates that-
(i) the household is not an unserved household, the satellite carrier
shall, within 60 days after the measurement is conducted, terminate the
service to that household of the signal that is the subject of the
challenge, and within 30 days thereafter notify the network station that
made the challenge that service to that household has been terminated;
or
(ii) the household is an unserved household, the station challenging the
service shall reimburse the satellite carrier for the costs of the
signal measurement within 60 days after receipt of the measurement
results and a statement of the costs of the measurement.
(C) Limitation on measurements.-
(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a satellite carrier may not be
required to conduct signal intensity measurements during any calendar
year in excess of 5 percent of the number of subscribers within the
network station's local market that have subscribed to the service as of
the effective date of the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1994.
(ii) If a network station challenges whether a subscriber is an unserved
household in excess of 5 percent of the subscribers within the network
station's local market within a calendar year, subparagraph (A) shall
not apply to challenges in excess of such 5 percent, but the station may
conduct its own signal intensity measurement of the subscriber's
household after giving reasonable notice to the satellite carrier of the
network station's intent to conduct the measurement. If such measurement
indicates that the household is not an unserved household, the carrier
shall, within 60 days after receipt of the measurement, terminate
service to the household of the signal that is the subject of the
