Re: AG Look at your dish and DirecTV FIRST
said by ip_power  :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. 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?

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. |
