[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1009126, member: 247983"] OMG - lost another box yesterday - Humax Foxsat HD - this time it was running perfectly then suddenly LNB nothing - no sat signal at first so thought just an outage but realised wrong time. Checked cable connection and powered up again and got the LNB short notice - and along with that the smell or arcing from inside. No trace of damp though no water in the box and cable checks out with multi-meter - so attached another Foxsat HD and all fine again - Tried the box on another feed and it does not work properly and the smell or arcing remains. Now really worried it is the cable but can't see any damage at all on it and the rubber gaiter on the LNB is very tight and not perished - Don't really want to redo the cable as it is part built in and replacing it means chiselling out a groove in one of my walls or the cable will be seen running down the inside of the sitting room wall and a certain person would not allow that!!!
