[QUOTE="NoviceSat, post: 910318, member: 390074"] I destroyed my TBS 5925 USB tuner as the (ready-made) LNB cable I was using snapped at the connector end and shorted the inner and outer parts. :( The TBS device stank of halogens for weeks (blown capacitor? I couldn't check as they use 'special' screws to keep the case together) I wish I turned the power off beforehand as they're not cheap devices! :-doh Now I use my old Technomate receiver which has LNB short circuit protection. I check all cables I make using this device - it only takes one strand of copper to start causing problems... [/QUOTE]
