[QUOTE="joddle, post: 998476, member: 247983"] Have checked everything - no shorts on the feed or LNB - checked with multimeter and waggled the cable about in case movement set it of but nothing. - the feed is fine and working well on the Pace and the other Manhatten with full SS and SQ - no carbonising on the plugs etc - no cracking of the cable either - there was however a sound of arcing from inside the Humax so I presume something has died in there. I checked the attenuator also with the MM and it was that which was shorting - can't do anymore tests as its now in the bin but did notice the adjustment screw seemed to be very flimsy and turned more than it should so looks like it failed mechanically inside. We will never know though! [/QUOTE]
