'The antenna cable must be earthed.'
"Alan Pemberton" wrote in message ve.co.uk.invalid... Just spotted in a satellite receiver user guide that 'the antenna cable must be earthed'. It's unclear whether this refers to the IF cable from the LNB or the through-connected terrestrial feeder to the telly, or both, but it's a condition unlikely to be met in the average domestic installation isn't it? When we used to buy US steerable kit in the late 80s it was always plastered with warnings about earthing. You were supposed to put a fat earthing strap between the polar mount and ground. Bill

'The antenna cable must be earthed.'
It is in fact specified by local Councils for multi sat installations.
