Single Story - crawl space with addition on slab Dish Network Dual |

OK, what do you do here for grounding? The utility power box is on the addition with no exposed #6 wire; the wires run in the walls. The dish would mount on the antenna tower nicely, but it's 25 feet from the utility box. |

View showing tower and utility box. The addition (left side on this view) sits on a slab. The main house sits on a crawl space. The crawl space door was inside the addition where the old exterior wall is. |

Customer requested that I put the new dish in place of the old DTV dish. I explained that his old dish wasn't grounded. Although the location was good for one receiver (right below it in the LR), I would have had to route all cables back to a grounding point. The second receiver was going right behind the antenna tower. |

I eventually found an 8" length of exposed #6 copper wire in the crawl space running up to the power panel inside the house. So I routed the cables from the dish on the tower, to the ground wire, and back to the receivers. |
