I don't know, but doubt it would be allowable. One of the issues would=20 be 600 volt insulation. Couple of thoughts: 1: What's the money limit? 2: Can the satellite receiver be mounted at the Dish? Our's has RF=20 remotes, but I don't think the RF will go that far. The remote can be=20 remoted either RF, infrared (substitute a laser), or onto the Coax with=20 combiner/splitter. 3: I have seen somewhere TV signal RF remotes, and baluns for running=20 over Cat-5. Might try some of these, I would talk to their tech support: http://www.cablestogo.com/ http://www.mcmelectronics.com/ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ Unfortunately, my guru, A Directv commercial dealer and did work for the=20 TV stations, passed away before new years at a early age of 53. :( :( On 5/18/2011 11:53 AM, Bob Blick wrote: > On Wed, 18 May 2011 09:06 -0300, "Gerhard Fiedler" wrote: > =20 >> I have a satellite dish (SKY) and want to connect a small house on the >> property to it.
