it will just be a backfeed. i wanted to let him view one of my tuners, with me controlling what channels to watch.
It should work.
Try to as much as possible keep it a single line. Ive never ran a backfeed over 100
feet but like I said it should be fine. If I am wrong someone will correct me.
I will worn you If this is Dishnetwork or Directv you have It is illegal.
Let us know the outcome.

I'm thinking the output will be at channel 3 or 4. With RG6 having a loss of 3 db/100 feet at those channels a low cost amplifier will be able to overcome the 500 foot loss. Even with no amplifier you should be able to supply a slightly snowy picture after 500 feet of RG6 depending on the launch power of the receiver.
ok, How far can I run cable from the LNB to a receiver? Can I us a amp in that run if it is to long?
Thanks,

It depends on what type of cable you are using. I have run RG6 which is standard up to around 300 feet.

I'm thinking the stuff I have is RG6 plus I have some stuff my friend gaving me when he use to work for the cable company. It is under ground cable.
