I'm working on a property that has a house and a coach house just over 200ft away. The main house has the dish and the sw44. i've ran a cable from one of the sw44's outputs to a receiver in the coach house. I'm getting no signal at all, no big surprise considering the distance. Unfortunately mounting another dish at the coach house isn't an option because its in a heavily wooded area. Is there some type of a signal booster i can put in line to amplify the signal? Thanks!

200' of RG6 should not be that big of an issue, my neighbor is 400+ away from the LNBF and it works.

Is the RG6 in a conduit.? Would it be possible to use RG11.?

I have never had to use one, but if you search Satellite Signal Amplifier Booster that may be what you are looking for.
I have seen them for as low as $3 so it would be a cheap experiment.

I agree with Pinza, 200 feet should not be a problem. I have ran multiple 150 feet ines myself without any issues. Try to split the cable as few times as possible.

My experience with a simular setup of long cable lenghts was resolved by moving the sw44 switch closer to the receiver and have the long cable lenght between the dish LNB's and switch. Alway remember the receiver must provide power to the sw44 for switching, If the cable lenght is to long between the receiver and switch you may encounter a power loss senerio that will not drive the sw44 switch.
