Hi

The feedline is the cable coax, there is no balun or tuner inline I would
imagine. Just the simple satelite dish with dual LNB and it receives from
two different satelites.

So it is in my best interests, best viewing interests, best protection of
the new TV to ground out the satelite dish, its arm, its base to the tower
and that in turn will ground out into the ground obviously.

Simple copper connection between tower and satellite. Easily done.

Thanks for the advice.


If the tower is galvanized steel, do not hook the copper directly to it.
You need a clamp to go between the two differant kinds of metel. If not ,
there will be corosion and could weaken the tower.
You could always use a piece of galvanized wire and stainless steel clamps.
