Dozer ... you are LITERALLY correct. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

With 150 channels, you will watch about 15 of em on a regular basis prolly and spend the rest of the time surfing through the other 120 as well as the other 400 you DON"T get.

I wish these people would change their interface and only provide you with the channels you paid for!

The one thing I love about my RCA receiver is the ability to block out all the channels you don't want to scroll past when surfing. I have mine parsed down to about 30 channels.

Doug, you have some options for loss in the cable. I wouldn't use RG-59 from the dish to the receiver. I would use either RG-6U or RG-11U. 3dB is a loss of 1/2 the power. Their is a fair amount of margin in the link from the Amp in the dish to the receiver.
