The installer who did my install a few weeks ago did it the morning I was flying out of town, and I didn't have time to notice whether he grounded the dish properly or not, I asked the guy, and he said "It's ok".
Fast forward to when I get back in town and do a thorogh inspection. No grounding, whatsoever. Nothing on the coax, nothing on the dish, no grounding at all. I call the installer and he says "I've been installing all kinds of dishes for 15 years and we have more lightning problems with grounded installations than non-grounded installations, so we don't ground them unless the customer specifically requests"
So they're coming out Wednesday to ground it properly.
Glad these guys are using anecdotal data instead of science and NEC to install these dishes.
