Hi - I hope this isn't a FAQ.
The leaves have come in where I live and I have NO signal - nada. I have had the equipment checked and there is nothing wrong. Three trees are lined up perfectly to block Dish's satellites. Direct TV is not appealing to me and Dish has offered to credit me a fair amount against my bill to assist in this installation.
My only option is to place the dish 453 feet from the DP34 in my basement. The receivers are less than 20 feet downstream from the DP34.
My equipment:
PVR 501
PVR 508
Dish 1000, 3 LNBs
DP34
I was thinking of getting a Sonora LA-143 amplifier to boost the signal. Has anyone seen a distant install like this work ? I know that the amp with RG-6 is supposed to do 350 feet.
I was thinking of getting enough RG-6 for one run and the amplifier to test this out before investing in the rest of the cable and a trencher but I was hoping someone could give me some indication of whether this would work. The dish, once I relocate it, should have a clear shot at all satellites.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Jim
