    How far away do you guys have your dish's from the receivers?

    depends on many different factors, but generally speaking anything over 200ft should have an amp/booster, and the booster should be within 100 feet of the dish(es), i am pretty lucky with my current setup, my cable is only about 30 feet to my motorized KU dish
