When doing a pole mount how do you ground? I read somewhere about grounding clamps? Do i still need a grounding block if i have a clamp? I apologize for being such a newbie.

I would drive a ground rod, but remember if you use a ground rod it must be bonded to your homes service grounding point, hope the above helps......

Run a dual RG-6 with ground(messenger) it is a #17 awg copper or copper coated wire attached to the RG-6 Dual....run this to your ground block and connect both the #17 awg from the dish and your Ground wire #10 to the house (electrical ground source etc.
And of course the #17awg wire needs to be attached to the dish Mast.
Ground
Yes all coax runs must go to a ground block and from there to your set-up or multiswitch etc.
You are doing 72.5 for Locals?
Do you have 2 round 18 inch dishes ? If you are doing 72.5 you will also need a multiswitch to combine the 101 and the 72.5 signals to your receivers.

Yes, My locals come from 72.5w. I don't have my dishes yet. I'm really not sure if i'm eligible for D-TV's current offer for free everything since i was a d-tv subsciber until 2002. Made the mistake of going to cable. Does the eagle aspen 4x4 multiswitch work on d-tv?
One more thing, what's the best way to mount mutli-switches and grounding blocks to a pole. Think i have decieded to a pole mount with both dishes on the same pole.
mounting
If at all possible as i think Dragon002 metioned in your other post, it is advisable to mount to the structure if at all possible!!
Ground block blocks and multiswitch should not just be mounted at the pole they need to be as close to your ground source as possible,and should be in such a place as to somewhat protect them from the elements.
