strung together this:

It's the cable directly from the dish.
This can't go through a distribuition amp, without being decoded by the
box first, as the signals from the satellite are not normal TV ones.

Try reading up on the product I mentioned in the post. I won't point
out the several incorrect comments in your post just yet, nah **** it,
I will.
I know it's the cable directly from the dish, no need to point that
out again.
The satellite signal can go through a distribution amp, just not a
normal uhf\vhf amp.
It's a signal in a frequency range, it can be amplified by a suitably
matched amp. It doesn't need decoding before being amplified.
I know satellite signals are different from normal tv ones,
If I got it wrong how do you suppose it all worked when it was
installed and tested? Bearing in mind I have fitted these units, you
obviously haven't.
