[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1156096, member: 389824"] I must say that in many years checking or helping install both satellite & terrestrial antenna setups here in Ireland, both north/south or NI/Republic, I have never once come across an instillation for a single household or similar building where the coax from the antenna or the LNB is grounded prior to entering the building, and this have never appeared to be a problem either. It is of course a different kettle of fish where the antenna is serving multiple residences e.g. Flats/apartments, where different earth/ground potentials or mains phases demands that proper attention to electrical safety (though sometimes this is bodged by some that think they can get away with it), but for an ordinary domestic install I've never seen it happen. Might be down to the general Irish climate being quite humid most of the time as well as a low general level of lightning discharge compared to many other parts of the planet, but I gather that a similar attitude to not grounding coax cable in such single domestic installs happens in Britain as well, which depending on where you are can be notably less humid much of the time.
