Re: GEN4 Equipment

grohgreg, please, go ahead and highly detail how you would have installed my dish to have met local building/zoning codes for my area, and standard install codes?

there is no code, please. in fact, that looks like a trip hazard.

proper install, wire goes down pole... buried under gound, and up the wall.

if there is a code, copy paste bud, i love to learn, when given direct proof of fact.

im not trying to fight with you, i just found it odd that it was done that way, i know if i got QC'd by my supervisor, he would call me on it, and ask for a explination.

Don't be facetious, it's impossible to detail an installation based upon one crappy photo. But it doesn't take a genius to understand and apply NEC to any given situation.

I don't see a ground wire from the installation or a proper ground post to attach it to! I'd be very careful when the next electrical storm hits - and also be cautious of static buildup in the wiring. Is it even grounded to the house ground next to the utility panel?

Look at the two horizontal black lines on the pole, and the red spot sticking out to the left of the lower line. What that strongly suggests is that - whoever installed this mess - strapped the coaxial ground block to the pole with a couple of cable ties. If true, it supports further suspicion that the idiot assumes contact between the block and the pipe constitutes an acceptable ground.
