[QUOTE="Arinb12, post: 1046469, member: 412260"] Hi all, I'm new to the forum but definitely not new to Sky and satellite. I have a question that I thought I might pose to you guys if you are more familiar with installation requirements than myself. Having just moved into a new flat we have a communal Satellite system with a communal dish on the roof which I expect willhave been grounded itself into the Fabric of the building. We had a Sky engineer around the other day who refused to fit our sky Q in as there was no grounding cables on to the sky multi switches in our communal cupboard. Is this right as I expect that to adhere to electrical regulations that the dish would have to be ground and the coaxial cable entering the building from the dish would be ground prior to entering as well. Please see the photo have attached as I would love to hear your guys opinions as sky have refused to install until we have this sorted is it sky that are refusing wrongly or do we need to get building management to rectify the issue. Red circles is where the engineer said we need ground cables.
