I think that it is the EMP that kills the lnbīs so no lightning rod in the world will help the lnb, but (perhaps) the reciever will survive
I have a huge metallic construction just some 50 meters from my house. It is grounded and when there is a thunder close to it the bolt goes into that monster. Still, last time we had a hit it fried my new fancy telephone and that was the EMP |
