I have a 100 foot length of Quad Shielded RF coaxial cable between my dish and receiver. I really don't need more than 60 feet to get the job done. Would I receive any increase in signal by trimming the cable to the "necessary" length? Thanks!
 
No, I would leave it, quad shield is some of the best cable out there so any increase would me minimal!
 
I have 200 ft between my dish and receiver. Quality is over 70% on nearly all satellites, and 90% or greater on my true south and the sats surrounding it.

Impressive.
But, how big is your dish, and what LNB are you using?

1.2 meter primestar dish with its original LNB. Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver. Tomorrow I'm putting on an Invacom SNH-031 LNB for polarization reasons, but PSB says it should help my signal too I think.
 
killer setup (overkill?)

Take some readings with the old LNB, then go back and shoot the same birds/transponders with the new LNB.
We need that info for other discussions.
Both signal level and quality
Get half a dozen if you can on different birds, and also wherever The Tube was.


And please post it to my thread "Invacom - Reviewing the Reviewers "
That would really make my day. :)
thanks.
