    grounding in attic question

    well, I wont argue about the ground situation as we all have different views of what is right and wrong. Just so you guys know though, I went out and looked over the situation real good and went and talked to them down at dish. Long story short I could not upgrade without paying a bunch of...

    Hello everyone. Im sorry in advance if this question is stupid to most of you guys. If I could have got a straight answer from the guys at the retail showroom I would not have had to register and ask.They gave me a hesitant "yes", which to me means they really had no clue. I am wanting to...
