Voomers,
how is your sat and OTA antennas grounding done? On my D* install the coax from the dish goes to a small metal plate in my basement and a grounding wire is connecting the plate and a cold water pipe. On my Voom install I have a triple cable (2 coax and 1 grounding attached). On the roof end one coax goes to OTA one goes to Sat and the grounding cable is attached to one of the bolts on the OTA arm. There is also a short grounding cable connecting the bolt on the OTA arm and one of the bolts on the Sat arm. The triple cable enters my basement and the grounding wire is connected to the same metal plate as the D* grounding wire.
I am wondering whether my intermittent problems with both StarzHD and 4 other channels with different polarity (described here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=10172) have anything to do with this grounding setup. Any thoughts?
