Default Adding receivers with a long cable run

I have Directv with HD Service and was thinking about adding 2 receivers to my guest house but it is approximately 100' ft to the rooms where i will be adding the receivers and i do not want to add another antenna. I would like to do the install myself. I am wondering what I would need to accomplish this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated

For cable runs of that length we recommend an amplfier like the Sonora LA142A for two lines. Or you can use Satellite USA Electronic's single line amps if you want better performance.

These amps make up for loss you have from running that length of cable. They also have a slope so they dont over amplify the lower frequencies.
