Acceptable length of cable from lnb to receiver
I currently have a legacy system with a SL3 non-swm lnb and two H24 receivers. ( Works fine for me ). I am planning on moving the dish to a new location due to trees growing too tall in line of sight to satellite. I have the perfect spot on my property but it will require a longer length of cable to reach the receivers. I will be using directv approved RG6 solid copper coax. One cable length will be about 90 feet with one connector. The other cable can follow two different paths. The preferable path would be almost 150 feet with two connectors and the other option would be about 135 feet with two connectors. Are these cable lengths acceptable? What is the longest cable I could have in my setup? Thanks.

Run it and Hook it up --If works -No Problem if not you can use RG-11 -you can step down the rg11 with rg6 connectors on each end --Just try it with rg 6 first. Lay it on top of the ground to test.
