Wireless to building 100 feet away
How can I get a wireless signal to my shop that is 100 feet from the house? I have an old dish on the building but it is not hooked up to anything.

DirecTV's option for wireless Clients has a range between wireless video bridge (WVB) and wireless Client of up to 80 feet under ideal conditions. At 100 feet you are too far.
You can have a box wired to the 2nd dish (provided it is not an outdated MPEG-2/SD-only dish). It just will not share Whole Home DVR with the rest of the setup, as that requires the physical coax. You could either add a receiver/HDDVR if this will be used all the time, or just move one of your existing ones over to the shop as needed. (remember Clients must be connected to the main box, and the Genie-2 HS17 only permits Clients).

Can't, the WVB range is only 80' in free air.
