I've decided to follow the advice of installing the dish on a pole mount in the backyard (about 70 ft from the house). I've asked the electrician to wire 8 coax cables to the outside of the house (from a location near the electrical box in the basement, where the coax home run is). The cables...

Good advices truckracer. Really appreciated ! Regarding the grounding, won't I loose "quality" by cutting my wires that way ? I know that everybody mentions grounding, but what are the chances ? Especially if the dish is at ground level.

I've decided to have my dish installed on a pole mount in my backyard, about 75 ft from the house. I want to run eight RG6 cables buried underground. However I haven't found a lot of explaining (even on this web site) about how to get this done. - Do I need to buy a conduit pipe for the cables...

Can water infiltrate conduit pipes and cause even more long-term damage to the cables ? Just wondering.

My Bad. I was tweaking my web server and deleted some files by mistake. Should be back up now. Just refresh the page. Thx.

The house that I'm having built is like the one in the picture above. As you can see, the person had the dish installed on the roof with 4 wires getting in under the roof (back of the house). I'm affraid it could eventually damage the roof. I'd rather have mine put on the side of the house...
