Grounding is part of any satellite dish install. So he better. Just politely check and inform him/her the original wasn't. If he/she is good, he/she will figure that out pretty quickly.
Its a sad day today. 
The DTV installer called me this morning and said that I only had a work order for 1 HD DVR and no dish. He was in a rush, and he said "Just call DirecTV".
I called DirecTV and they told me "Uhh. We forgot to put it into the other system."
The installer is coming by today to put in the DVR, but another installer is coming in tomorrow (From 4 to 8 PM? - I didnt know they work that late) to install the dish.
I guess its fine b/c I wouldn't get any more HD channels now with a new dish. So, we shall see tonight and tomorrow night.
One question - For DVR's, you need 2 cables from the dish right? And if they run a new cable, do they fish it through the walls? Also, I have a keystone wall plate behind my TV, so would they provide the cable keystone to go into the wallplate to connect the new satellite cable?

All went well today. The installation guys came at 9 o'clock instead of 4 - 8 PM like it said on my order. I didnt mind though. 
They called and asked if they could come over, and I said sure...
I got the DVR working, but I wanted to know if I can stream videos over ethernet to the HR20. I got the pictures and music streaming fine, but when I click on Videos - All Videos, I get nothing. Any way to fix this?

They havent released the video streaming yet. Stay tuned here for Living on the Edge releases that allow that feature.
