| AG Look at your dish and DirecTV FIRST
Come on, I understand Electric Codes, but first take a look at those SatDish installs, are they grounded (EXTERNAL TO THE HOME), has there been any lightening strike, personal property damage. Should fishy to me, bet the contractor wasnt union for FIOS. Thus dont watch the puppet behind the curtain. |

I have an unused DirecTV dish outside of my house and the two coaxial cables come into the basement and just dangle in the air. I don't see any grounding blocks or any other means of grounding these wires. Are these supposed to be grounded?

There should have been a grounding block. |

The dangling cables from a dish mounted as a lightning air terminal provide a path for lightning to enter the house. |
