[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 639742, member: 240839"] This is an issue i face quite often although its usually on the terrestrial feed on the IRS systems that i install that occasionally causes the problem :eek: Quite often we have had to pinch the terrestrial (UHF/DAB/FM) feed from a neighboring building if we have line of sight issues. As both systems in each building are sometimes earthed to different substations we have to use galvanic isolators on the terrestrial feed to isolate one system from the other. This works well on terrestrial feeds although i don't think it would be impractical in this case as you still need to allow a power feed to the lnb. My thoughts on this would be, don't do it, fit your own dish :D I myself would be unimpressed if somebody nicked a feed from my dish without permission. I would probably remove the cable and short it out so it hopefully knackers the perpetrators receiver, but thats just me :D I don't like people messing with my stuff full stop. :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
