Terminator & Grounding Question
Hi,
I just got my dish installed and I have 2 questions.
I have read that several installers recommend that unused ports on the swm have a terminator installed. My installer did not do this. Are terminators absolutely necessary?
2nd question. My installer said he could not find a place to install a ground block outside the house, so he installed it in the basement near the breaker box (he told me that if anyone asks, I am to tell them that I requested the ground block be installed inside the house as this is the best method). I read several articles that suggest the dish should be grounded to the elec meter or another metal object outside the house. Should I be concerned or is my system properly grounded?
Thanks for addressing my concerns.
