Transition to Dish from DirecTV?

First, if you go with the Winegard Pathway X2 you can use the Eastern arc satellites 61.5, 72.7,& 77 as well as the Western arc. These sats will not pose any low elevation problems any where east of the Mississippi river. I have used my Pathway X2 all up the east coast into Nova Scotia and PEI Canada without a problem. When I go west I switch to the Western arc satellites 110, 119,& 129.
Second, I have used the X2 with as much as 125' of low loss RG6 cabling with no problems.
