Installation - Phase II

Well, my system is up and running... We accomplished what many said couldn't be done up here in the sticks..

It reallly is amazing that it works at all (see attached pic)... But although I found my way through the trees, I will never find my way through the hillside... I get all sats from AMC6 to AMC1 with no prob... AFter that, Im into the hillside (FTA Dish is located where the old DSS dish is in the right side of this pic taken this past summer)....

So, behind the house on top of the hill, it is super clear..No trees and a clear site to all sats.. The prob? Probably 350-400 ft run will be necessary (Right now, there is ~ 200 ft of RG-6 on it and it works well although if I am reading everything correctly, It shouldn't !!!!)...

So what do I do to make all of this work and get the dish moved to the top of the hill where I'll be done with my hillside and tree prob. Amps? RG-11? Hardline???? Maybe keep the dish where it is and put a stationary dish on the hill aimed at G10R???

Where there's a will there's a way!
