Dish500 on roof of detached garage using Commdeck mount. RG6 dual with messenger runs thru garage inerior, then underground in conduit 20ft to the house, then about 30ft inside house to receivers.
Messenger conductor connected to dish ground. Grounding blocks at entrance to house (conduit comes up out of ground into junction box w/ ground blocks then into house). Messenger connected to grounding blocks.
Coax entrance to house is on opposite corner of house from primary utility entrance (of course . Number 10 solid conductor ground wire runs from grounding blocks, along with coax (now without messenger) thru the interior of the house and connects to the common utility ground conductor near the electrical entrance panel.
My questions (finally!) are:
Should I do grounding blocks where the cable exits the garage? If so, where would you connect them to ground?
Should I reroute the house grounding cable around the exterior of the house instead of running it inside?
