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.

Well of course, that explains everything.

I was wondering about this myself.

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?

If it's not connected to anything then I guess it doesn't really matter.

There should have been a grounding block.

Why is it when I read that I get a "famous last words" feeling?

Now why would a wingnut need to have something properly installed?
The dangling cables from a dish mounted as a lightning air terminal provide a path for lightning to enter the house.

I am wondering if the previous owner had grounded the wires when they had been last hooked up to something.
