Using the Winegrad X2 with Dish VIP211 receiver on 200' of quality RG6 coax, no problems. The more connections in the line the more signal loss. I installed a coax connection on the TT skirt on the trailer's side. The back side of the connector goes straight to the satellite box, this way there is only one connection between the box and the dish. Much better signal strength than original three connections.
I would highly recommend the Dish satellite cell phone app. Using the camera in your phone and its internal gps and compass you look at your screen while aiming your phone's camera to the sky. You see the sky and small red "satellites" on the screen. Move around to find a clear shot to the sky and wala that's where you set the dish.
