    optimizing satellite pointing without using a receiver...

    Not a low opinion, but I prefer 360 radial compression fittings and think they do a better job than snap n seals. The SnS are definitely better then hex crimps. Eddie

    about ground loops...

    That's what I said, just trying to pinpoint the original posters confusion. :) Eddie

    about ground loops...

    and I THINK the shield of the coax connects to the case (chasis), so in this example it may appear as if a double ground/loop problem would occur, which is what I think the original poster was asking about. Thanks for pointing out about the 3rd prong, I haven't seen any of the current...

    about ground loops...

    A simplified answer is: You are not really grounding the satellite, but bonding it to your electrical ground. So they are at the same potential. Most satellite receivers did not have 3-prongs, I do not know if that has changed recently, but even if they did, it is at the same potential...

    Very seriously about becoming a retailer...

    Whatever you do, make sure you have a VIABLE business plan and stick to it. I don't believe you can have a successful business plan by selling Dish/Direct as your only business, at least not starting now. Do you have a local small business association where you live? They can give great...

    WARNING: Why DirecTV stinks...

    Is Directech the Directv dealer that sold you the system? Directv has gone to great legal lengths to distance themselves from their authorized dealers (just as Dish Network has done). They don't want the responsibility of the physical installation. Even now that they do "in-house"...

    Surround Sound from OTA

    From the TV optical output, through the optical cable, in through the optical input on your surround receiver. Don't worry, you are overthinking this! :) Eddie

    multiswitch serves only one receiver at a time

    Run another cable from the dish to the new receiver. Disconnect the mutiswitch. If you go up there, you might as well run all 4 lines from the dish for future use. Eddie

    Surround Sound from OTA

    Leave everything as it is and ADD the optical cable. It only carries audio. Eddie

    Surround Sound from OTA

    I can't see your pdf link right now. If your JVC has an optical input, hook up an optic cable between your TV optical out to your JVC optical in. 1 wire and you are done with the connection. Eddie

    Surround Sound from OTA

    From the link you provided, the only way to hook-up an external sound processor is through the optical Dolby Digital output. Eddie
