Messenger wire from the dish to the ground point at the house with the messenger wire connected to a ground strap on the pole

Dish installers, how do you ground a pole mount setup now days? Is the pole a good ground or do you also run a green ground wire back to the home ground?

Why is this superdish wider than the newer superdish

I just went through this myself. I had the roofing company remove the dish. I then called and had my area flagged for a safe to dig zone so Dish could come back and do a pole mount on the ground. I did have the Dish protect and just tipped the dish tech since he had to dig a whole.

The Roofers will just leave it on the ground and you will still need a DISH tech to come back and reinstall it where it goes. I think they will reinstall it since you can get once a year a free move if you have DISH protect, but you could call and ask. My mom and dad had their ota antenna...

I found out way back. Other dealers used a lot of the white ties on big dish installs and I'd do system upgrades and find them just falling off. So brittle just touch them and they're gone. Within a year or 2, and black ones were holding up. But I have since found that simply being black is no...

Oh I think it can, but there will likely be real limitations on the number of channels that can be recorded simultaneously. I think the current one-at-a-time recording is just a first step in getting this feature working. Think of it as version 1.0 of this feature. It was simpler to implement...

Go to www.dishpointer.com in your computer browser. Find the 61.5 satellite in the right hand drop down. Enter your exact address where it says "Your location". You will get a satellite view of your location and a line pointing to the 61.5 satellite plus the elevation and azimuth for the 61.5 W...

I have signals! The dish is ground-mounted sitting on an old heavy-duty azimuth rotator only to hold the base of the mast fixed yet loose enough to allow manual azimuthal rotation and a 50-lb concrete block to help stabilize the assembly. All supported by heavy ropes. So nice to have non-rusted...

So I'm back in Japan. Incredibly, I cannot source the typical 3-foot satellite dish tripod that I've used for three dishes back in Canada. I tried ordering one via Amazon Japan from two different local suppliers and they both came back to say they could not source stock from the U.S. even though...

I plan on doing the exact same thing, put a sidecar on my 99W dish to get 105W. I tried doing this on my 97W dish but it was really finicky and never could get a good lock, I figure 8 degrees away on a Hughesnet dish is pushing it, 4 degrees works great, I'd say 6 degrees will be ok. My...

I swapped out the the two UPS's and rearranged my TV cabinet for the tall tower to fit. Then I went through the APC menu to see what was good or bad. It shows I am running between 117 to 122 watts and I have a full battery. But when I check the run time it shows "0". When the power went out...

How much does a Delta 2 cost? Then you said you are getting a larger Delta Pro?

I started using UPS battery backups systems back when I had a projector and frequent power outages. I wanted something to give me time to shut the projector off. I have a Cyberpower in the home entertainment center and a bigger APC with a smart outlet for other items. I do need to swap out...

The problem has to be ground related. On an EcoFlow forum they are asking if the power station is plugged in to an A/C outlet. It was not. I will play with it more today. My Dish is on the roof over 15' above the ground. I can't see if there is a ground wire up there.

Not saying to do it permanently but disconnect the ground and see if it fixes the issue. Also if there's a ground from hub to the service disconnect then there should also be a black wire on the other ground terminal on hub that's comes from the coax cable going to dish. And other end should...

There is a ground wire running from the solo hub to the main disconnect panel.

I don't know how to check the voltage, but I can look at the solo hub to see if it is grounded or not.

I would check the voltage actually being fed to the hopper. If it's too low it can cause the hopper to not send power to the lnb which would result in no signal. Also if there's any grounding on the solo hub or dish, it can also cause issues if theres other electrical issues.

Good to know. This snowfall was quite unusual here. Snow is not normally an issue at my location so it's a novelty. Brushing the snow off immediately restored good operation of the Ku dish. I like the dish very close to ground so I can sit on a chair while tweaking the LNB, especially on C-band.

And to have a good signal in Ku, put a plastic visor on the antenna. It has been tested, in snow and rain the signal is not 100 percent, but you can watch. If the antenna was higher from the ground, there would be less snow.

Being in maintenance management and following many safety sites, I cannot count the number of times I see stories where, after the fact, the "obvious" is not so "obvious" ! Do the one call. No matter what. If you make the call and there is a mistake, it is on the one-call system. If you do...

That is pretty subjective actually. In-house technicians will in probably all cases not put a pole in the ground without calling dick safe first. Contractors in many cases, same thing however, the policy is to put the Dish on a temporary mount at the point where the pole will go, call, dig safe...

Well one limit is not being authorized to mount to Vinyl siding

They can move the Dish to wherever you want it, as long as it's got clear line of sight and a clear path for the cable. I would call it in as a relocate Dish Work Order. As for the Antenna, that will probably incur an extra charge and will need a clear wallfish to the Hopper
