Default Directv install

Is it a problem in TV to put a dish on the house?
Ours is near the roofline on the corner of the house and the cable goes into our attic.

That type of install would be preferable to me.


One thing for sure it must be grounded properly.
The origianl installation of our dish was not grounded properly.
A couple of years later we had issues and an installer came out.
He advised that our dish was not properly grounded. He had to to go across the attic to the other side ot the house where our main ground is.

No cost to me but it took him a couple of hours and lots of cable.

BTW, I needed a new box! Nothing to do with the dish...
