Position of the DP switch?

[rumi]

How much cable can be between the DP34 Switch and the DP LNB? Currently the switch is located on the pole of the dish. I wanted to move it and run cables from the new position of the switch (about 150' away) to the LNB.

I went 200 feet without any problems.

The manuals all say that it doesn't matter the distance between the dish and the switch and/or the receiver and the switch as long as the total run from the receiver to the dish doesn't excede 200ft. On a side note, I have seen runs far excede 200ft though. I would think the limiting factor in long runs would be the voltage loss and not the signal loss. If I had a run over 200ft then I would make sure that I used Solid Copper Center conductor RG6.

That is excellent to know Brett. I didn't realize that runs could be that long with no problem. Thanks for the info!
