Re: Satellite Grounding

Steve,

The signal coming out of your dish is probably between 1 and 2 gig. If the cable is not broadband rated for at least that you've degraded the signal. The signal from the dish is DIGITAL
Actually on the digital cable, they have filters for all that stuff. It is my understanding from an Adelphia tech., that the chip for decoding the digital signal(cable digital channels) is the same as in the STB. I can't say what the difference would be but it's worth a try, I would not want it to be the weakest link in a system.
If your STB isn't getting the full range signal which included the audio, then the HDTV is compromised.
I would try a couple of BELDEN cables w/ Canare "F" 's on them. 1694a and 1695a. If you are a cable junky (like myself) you might also try adding an extra shield (directional) to the cables!
YA JUST NEVER KNOW!
Good Luck,
Mitch
