Do coaxial cable couplers reduce signal quality? If I have 3 coaxial couplers on an rg6 wire, that runs in total about 75 feet, will the coaxial couplers reduce the signal and not let me watch channels from my fta dish?

I can not run one continuous wire, the only thing i can do is have 3 long rg6 cables connected with couplers. Will this damage the signal?
 
One always prefers to have as few splices as possible in a cable run. That being said, if you are using barrels rated for 2250mhz, good quality compression connectors, and taking every effort to keep the water out, you should be fine.
 
A typical barrell should only have a few 10th's of a db loss, however you have also added additional connectors if all is of quality parts and tightened correctly you may lose about a db or 2.
