Directv in pool house

I am building a pool house that is about 75 feet or so from where the main Directv box is. The pool house will have WiFi not not sure how good the strength will be. We have Hughes-net for our internet provider. What are my options to get Directv to work in the pool house. There will be 1 smart TV in the pool house.

What are your current DVR/Receiver model numbers?

Can you run a coax cable to the pool house?

If you are able to run a coax (RG6 Copper Core) to the pool house would be ideal. Otherwise you would need to install a separate dish on the pool house. DirecTV is service by their own satellite, so will not be delivered/bridged through your internet.

What are the models of each box you have now? This can affect some install options.

I’m at work so I don’t know the models . Why can’t I add a Genie? That would be a lot cheaper than another dish.

Maybe you can. That's why we need to know your current equipment model numbers.

Never said anything that you couldn't. Depends on your setup if a Genie or other model can be added, and what might be best. That is why we asked for the model numbers of your current boxes, so you don't get the wrong option by working of just assumptions.
