I would avoid the AMP if you can at all, while it will re-amplify the signal it is not going to re-amplify the voltage properly at that distance, which is the primary problem here (unless I am wrong). Some viable options you have is to run RG11 (works well from 150-275 fee with no splices.) to a Powered 6x8 or 6x16 Ka/KU certified Multi-switch (usually $150 for a WB616) so the switch will have 0db loss. Either run it yourself or hire a local retailer to do it for you. You will need a RG11 Cable Prep Tool, RG11 Connectors and RG11 Compressor. By God don't use crimp connectors or RG6 connectors. I would recommend running 5 or 6 lines out to the dish for issues in the future and placing them in 3" conduit.
This is well beyond the standard install and will easily be $300-$500 out of pocket, but via D* as you have found it won't happen. The other options, 1 has been presented-the tree, the other is to cancel and go with cable as it is likely that a E* tech will not run that far out, certainly not for free.
