[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 789637, member: 176256"] The LNB may be defective as you suggest but before replacing that take a very close look at the F-plugs at either end of the cable. It is very easy when making the plugs up to overlook a whisper of the copper braid on the outside just touching the inner core. If you have a multi-meter there should be no current flowing between core and braid with both ends unplugged. Don't forget to check that the plug is screwed in tightly enough (assuming you have that type of plug) onto the copper braid and make sure that the inner core is long enough, it should just be showing outside the plug.
