I believe that the X2 says the max coax run is 25 feet, you might want to check the manual. If you are successful with 50 feet that's pretty good, I think.
If you are trying to run longer coax runs you might want to see if you could install some kind of a signal booster on the line to help with your problem.

Remember that there is a 20 degree spread between 110 and 129. That means you need A LOT of clear sky to locate all 3. The indication is that the antenna could find 110 and 119 but 129 is blocked or you are in the extreme NE or SE where the satellite is too low in the sky.

I'm not a Dish guy so have no idea where programming is, but the same thing happens in DirecTv land on 110 that is now used only for programming into Puerto Rico. The last few years they have been fiddling with it and depending where we are, even within a 300mile radius, 110 may or may not lock.

Good morning all.. We're having trouble with our Travel'r and Dish network setup. I noticed the display shows all 3 sats after alignment (110, 119, 129) but the 129 sat doesn't have an asterisk after it. Whats it trying to tell me? Can't find it in the manual, all it says is it should have one! Anyway, occasionally when turning the receiver/TV on it shows a lost signal message.. I tightened the LNB's on the arm since they were a little loose and then stowed the antenna and let it re-align and it still does it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
