    Just a wild thought, but would it be possible to set up a dish on the top of the mountain and either set up a repeater or run a cable down to the house?

    no, i don't know of an existing system that does this, but i do know of others with a similar problem.

    maybe i should apply for a patent on the concept so when someone does i can get rich! (jk)
