[QUOTE="intracube, post: 910047, member: 380516"] and from comments on this site, some tuners like the TBS cards might not have protection at all I'm surprised that it would be so easy to short out the tuner - the centre wire on the f-connector is recessed quite a way. Maybe it was a false warning caused by a higher than normal current load when the LNB was connected up? Either way, I will [I]certainly[/I] be double checking the plugs on my satellite cable for stray braiding strands when I first connect my new PCIe card :) [/QUOTE]
