Gents:
I'm looking at all the connectors on the 75 ohm cable between the LNB and receiver. I count 7 on the dish mast and 3 in the house, for a total of 10! I have a 275' run from the dish mast to the house.
I'd like to delete the grounding block at the dish, and use my all metal DiSEqC switch as a ground point. That would eliminate ( at least ) 2 connectors at the dish ( unless I try that quad instead of single InvaCom LNB you folks are discussing ). I assume everyone puts that switch at the dish???
Am I correct in assuming that grounding blocks merely ground the coax shield ? There is no lightning arrestor function involved here???
Could use some advise on this safety issue.

: . Guess that means these are static discharge units. NOT lightning arresters.:yikes
