[QUOTE="a33, post: 1125034, member: 332642"] That is not a good idea. While doing that, it is possible that the center pin of the F-plug (which carries voltage, with some receivers even in standby mode!) briefly touches the 'earth/mass' of the system, thus causing a brief shortage. That is often the cause for a diseqc switch to be blown. So rule of thumb is: always pull the power cord, when working on your system. I sometimes don't pull the power cord, but in cases like that I [B]very, very carefully[/B] disconnect and connect the cables, as to not touch the earth/mass with the center pin. I don't advise this method; especially not when you have to work on more than one cable! So it's best to always unplug your receiver. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
