[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1013778, member: 369937"] Ahh a sad lesson learned, good thing you had a spare....On some devices when you turn the front panel power off or off with a remote, there still could be DC power out to the LNB or switch, it is best to use the power switch on the back or pull the power cord from the wall or AC to DC inverter before messing with any coax connected to a satellite box or related equipment. And if the main driving force behind getting the work done as soon as inhumanly possible says to it faster my show is on in 5, then have them hold the open end of the coax, tell them to watch for the excess DC voltage that may come flowing out if you accidentally left the power on, you will be reminded several times a second to be sure to look and see if the power cord is unplugged. I cant remember on how many switches I've had to go replace simply because someone thought that they could re-rout this coax a bit better then the way it is now, and nothing would happen if it was a quick disconnect, re-connect.
