I've seen a number of answers most of which should work well.

Clear to the bottom of the page is the cable box coming into the house. It's 
a fairly large page.

A similar, but larger box at the tower.

About the only thing that hasn't changed is the box mounted on the tower. 
Even the cables have been rerouted and made much neater.  The conduit no 
longer comes through the basement wall and the grounding is in the box on 
the outside of the house. I'll update the photos once I get things together.

NOTE: These boxes are made to take an internal back plate that goes on stand 
offs. I used 1/4" Aluminum in the box where it goes in the house. The 
Aluminum is grounded, the polyphasers mount on it, and groudning bulkhead 
connectors for the satellite system are mounted on it.
