Is there a limit on the length of RG 6 cable that I can run without loss of signal? Also - is it OK to hook a 50 FT and a 100Ft length of cable together if I need the extra length? I will be attaching the attic end of this cable to a cable coming from the new D* dish antenna - installed two weeks ago. It has quite a distance to run before hook up to a bedroom TV. Thank you. mb

Yes, before you run it hook it up and test it (D*TV recommends 125' max) but it should work for you.
