Cable 75ft MAX: Satellite dishes

We have had nothing but signal loss since purchasing this unit. Keep in mind that we bought this for our RV and there are some trees on the property we are now on so the unit had to be sited about 75 feet apart. Using 100 feet of shielded direct coax cable from the playmaker to Wally, we were unable to get a signal. It hung for a few seconds and then turned off. I changed the coax cable to the 50 foot cable that connects to the Type F connector and to the 25 foot cable that the playmaker came with and I got a signal of about 35. Not the best, but it's finally working! They need to boost the signal somehow, especially if they're intended for RVs. Most campgrounds are surrounded by trees and these portable courts must be sited at least 100 feet away. If I run into any more weird issues I'll update my post. Much luck!
