Q: Can I use any
replacement LNBF with the Easy Signal Finder System?

Should you need to re-align or re-install your system you
would need to use original Easy Signal Finder equipment only.

the Easy Signal Finder System?
A: Yes, you can use any
suitable dish for your area.
Q: How long can the coax
run be?
A: We have tested it up to
150 feet using
good
quality coax and found no problem at all. The average coax
length
used in most installs is 60 to 75 feet. A 150 foot run would
be
unusual however if you have a coax run that exceeds 150 feet we
recommend that you do some testing before installing the Easy Signal
Finder System.
