    what is maximum distance between satellite dish and decoder for acceptable signal

    Depends on the quality of the RG6 coax you are using. Use quad shield coax for best results and look for a good brand. As for the distance it all depends on how you run your cable. Without an amplifier then anywhere between 45-100m depending on the installation and cable used.

    Purchasing a machine which is reliable for intensive rendering, animating and film editing etc, would appreciate guidance

    Best a cheapest option would be to build your own desktop PC. You can get a barebones also and add the parts you want. You want windows 8.1, win 7 is fantastic and I still use it but support for it stops next year i think. If you have a budget in mind that would help.

    Is there any upgrades I can do on a Gateway NV79 Laptop?

    Only real upgrades for that is extra RAM (not that usefull and wasting money imo) and replacing the HDD with an SSD (reinstall of the OS req). An SSD will give a noticable boost in performance. If the laptop has an express card slot then you could always set up an external GPU (can be expencive...
