Direct TV kid comes to install my dish few days ago. Attaches dish to roof and then runs the wire into the house. He spliced into an existing wire in the garage using a male to make screw adapter. Wire runs all the way to my TV.
I noticed yesterday that he took the ground wire from the RG6 and just stripped it back. He never connected this ground wire to anything! Also, where the wire comes from the dish, the ground wires are cut back and not connected together.
My question: Isn't the wire from the dish suppose to be grounded at the dish and then to a water pipe or something? I took the time to attach it to the cold water pipe, and where the cables are spliced, but is that enough?
Thanks for the help.
