The higher the frequency the higher the loss, but as the Astra 2D channels after LNB conversion are transmitted along the cable at around 1 Ghz, the loss will not be 3db per 10m, but less than 2db per 10m. The comment was more addressed to Pietro1.

Inverto make a 4.5 degree monobloc, which would be ideal for those two satellites, not sure where you could get one from though.
