encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Article 820-40 of the NEC (National Electrical Code)  
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,  
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the  
grounding system of the building, as close to the point cable  
entry as practical.  
1. Change the position of the Satellite Receiver with respect  
to the radio or television equipment that is receiving the  
interference.  
2. Move the Satellite Receiver away from the equipment that  
is receiving the interference.
