Are there trees all around? If it's western arc, maybe you can get away
with converting to eastern arc. That was the problem I used to have with
Directv. But that got shit-canned and went to Dish, east is wide open
for me. We upgraded to the Hopper3 a couple months ago. 16 tuners is
awesome. :)

I've run into a situation where I need to install a TV dish about 700'
away from where the TV will go because of heavy tree coverage. There
is power and indoor space at the dish location, and there is already
fiber run back to the house with multiple spare strands. 'People' I've
talked to, say this is too far for a coax run. Searching online, it
looks like there are some fiber options. Dish network branded or a
company called 'Dawnco', but the equipment is about the same price in
the $6000+ range for a 4lnb setup. Anyone come across a cheaper way
to do it? 80 year old-Non-technical users, so need to maintain the
DISH STB, no fancy streaming solutions. The dish today is about 250'
away from the house on coax, and it will drop out in the slightest
rain because of the signal loss over the coax.
