    LNB Power With >250' Cable Feed

    Jim, You might consider suggesting to your neighbour to clad his microwave in tin-foil....har har.. Glad to hear the Dual clad will cut it. Saves me the hassel of sourcing Quad - of which I certainly don't need 1000' - the stanadard roll size. This whole exercise is quite similar...

    LNB Power With >250' Cable Feed

    Jim, Much thanks.......I think. Just kidding, as I lost an afternoon in your West-Coast cottage exploits. Impressive. If I recall, there was - at one point - regular dual shield RG6 used on these long runs; How did the signals fair then? By-the-by: When the installer came to setup my Shaw...

    LNB Power With >250' Cable Feed

    Iceberg, On the RG11 - I am aware. Thx. This post has sooo little to do with geography, everything to do technically. The "Dish" forum was selected for it's high traffic, as I hoped it would get more "eyeballs". The Canadian factor has little to no relevance. Respectively...
