In the days on old Analogue Satellite systems I beleive it was reasonably easy to blow the receiver output stage/lnb by unplugging whilst it was still powered. I guess things are a little more resiliant these days - but my question for today is: is it OK to power up a receiver with no LNB on its output(s)?
For example: if I displace my receiver to mate it to my PC for software gigery-pokery, I have no access to RF cabling, thus its desirable to be able to turn it on without plugging in an LNB - would this present a problem? To date I've always ensured a cable/LNB was plugged in before powering on a receiver.
