There were manholes and the old cables were joined in various places and ran in 6" pipes underground. There were draw ropes there so pulling the new cable through took most of the time but came through ok.Cable used was WF125 Underground, I ran 2 cables from 2 dishes to the house. 1 cable went to the excisting sky dish, i put in an in line amplifier approx 50-60m in and it helped boost the signal to the last stretch in the house where the signal was then around 85% quality and picked up all channels ok with the new Humax HD Freesat receiver.The second dish used was a Triax 1.1m lined to Eutelsat 16 degs East. I had an issue lining this in the first place and had to move the dish and relised it was the trees around 10-20m away that were effecting the signal. you could see the signal coming in and out with the flow from the wind. managed to get a lock in the new postition and ran an offset LNB for Astra 19 degs East also, these went into a 2 way disecC switch which fed the 2nd cable.Again another in line amp was used around the same distance as the otehr cable and Astra 1 was being received ok in the house.16 degs East thoug was not being received vary well though, signal quality was around 50-60% and the picture was breaking in and out.Im back there tomorrow to take another look at this, have another amp which im going to put in nearer the dish for the 1.1m and have some new f-connectors to put on but i think it could be the trees causing the issue with the signal in which case could mean move the dish to a ground mount just away slighlty, or get the customer to trim down his trees.Will keep you posted of the final result and will probably get some pics uploaded. im hoping though fingers crossed the new amp may just do the trick. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
