Using satellite antenna as a cell phone antenna?

[Speedwagon]

Ok, just had my DirecTV installed. Only using 1 room service, so I have an extra RG6 port on the outside of the house. I get horrible cell phone reception inside my house. Anyone know if it would be possible to somehow use the extra port to improve cell phone reception?

General idea here being that the dish concentrates the signal, so it might come through the line better. Thoughts?

It would probably not work well since the satellite dish is pointing off into space and probably not at a cell phone tower. There are devices to help with cell phone problems in buildings. They make repeaters that do it specifically. If you want it to work like at your office desk, you could get a car kit external antenna and put it in your house and run the cord out the window (or even up to the attic) to get it to work better. Then just plug the phone into it.
