In that case, if I were you I'd just pay the $5/month for a second DISH
receiver. Either that or put up with the occasional down time. I would
definitely not try to make 100 foot video cable runs. You lose a lot of
signal. Whether or not that is really a problem depends on the
particulars of your setup, but even a 25 foot run caused a fair amount
of signal degradation in my house, even using a signal amplifier.
