[QUOTE="Crisbe, post: 635794, member: 327196"] Silly question, Has anyone done any electrical work at the house recently, and maybe run a power cable alongside the feed to the dish, without leaving any seperation between them? What I am thinking is, if the guy is a DIYer and has maybe done something like put up an outside light with the cable run alongside the dish feed it could be inducing AC voltage in to the cable when powered on, which in turn might be injuring the tuner. The reason I mention this is because I once had a friend who had problems with his telephone. Every evening, if you phoned him you would hear a loud buzz on the line, daytimes it was fine. He called a telephone engineer out and landed up paying for the call out. It turned out a cable, he had put in, to a light for his driveway, was alongside the phone line as it came down the wall, and just a few feet in parallel was enough to induce several volts of AC on to the line.
