Help, I have a new hughes receiver (director pack) and a new dish (terk 3 LNB oval). I hook up the dish to a 4 foot cable for testing and get 92 % signal, then I run a 50 foot line and I get 0 %. I have tried 3 different cables nothing. Please anyone, anyone???
 
What else is changing besides the 50' cable are you adding a switch, ground block, connector, something besides the cable is causing a short.
 
Nothing is changing, I disconnect the short cable then hook up the 50 footer, I'm stumped. OK back at ya ,, what could cause a short?
 
50' Store bought

If the 50 foot cable is store bought I suggest you make your own,the wire may not be concisent through the total length. I make my own,and a few for friends.They are much better,get the Zenith F connectors,quad shield RG6,and the crimping tool from Lowes and go to work,
