i don't use one so don't know if this works but its worth a go if your having problems

lol at that report because 1 ft of cable isnt really going to make that much difference between the space between your dongle and the satelite next they will be saying wear a tinfoil hat for the signal to bounce off lol

however using an extention lead for your dongle will help prevent it getting banged and damaging your laptop usb port especially if your kids are using it because they liek to move things or sit with them perched on their knees etc so the extention prevents teh dongle getting caught and snagging at teh usb port
