    Grounding Antenna

    I'm going to check for the copper pipe tomorrow. If I can't find, what other options do I have? What is THHN? Copper wire? Tks Bill

    Grounding Antenna

    I have installed an antenna in my attic (CM-4228) and I'm thinking I need to ground this thing. Any ideas on grounding antennas that are installed in the attic? Don't want anything to happen to the receiver that it is connected to. Is there anything in the attic that is already grounded...

    Proper Satellite Numbers for AT9

    Jimbo-It was a bad tuner in my unit. I had no sig on tuner 2, so I swapped tuner 1's input and still didn't get a signal. My unit manufacture date was Aug 21st I believe. Directv sent me another one and I popped it in yeseterday (manufacture date Sep 28th). All is well, and I'm happy (I just...

    Question for Installers/AT9 Tomorrow

    Wow, what a day. I'm getting 2 HR20-700s and one standard box installed. I needed these installers to drop the 4 lines from the SAT into a structured panel in my master br, where I'm going to put the multiiswitch. Also, 3 drops to the master br (2 for sat, 1 for OTA antenna). The other lines...

    Question for Installers/AT9 Tomorrow

    This is going to be an experience. I just got off the phone with the installter (he's on the way). My question to him was if he was going to put concrete in the pole or just in the ground. His comment "maybe neither I might be able to just drive it into the ground". I don't think this is...

    Question for Installers/AT9 Tomorrow

    One final question. I'm attaching some data for my location. Can someone recommend an OTA antenna? Also, I'm going to be mounting this in the attic. Any suggestions on grounding? Tks again.

    Question for Installers/AT9 Tomorrow

    Is this just as good as the sch40 2" stainless? I know they had this stuff at Home Depot when I went there today as well. So you are saying that 2" will be too big correct? (for rigid steel conduit that is). Tks. Bill

    Question for Installers/AT9 Tomorrow

    Guys, I can't find 2" schedule 40 stainless, but I did find some 2" rigid steel conduit (which appears to be heavier). Can I use rigid steel conduit instead of schedule 40 2"? I spoke with the installer and he doesn't have any 2" schedule 40 either. Have any of you installers out there...
