[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1080472, member: 389824"] Some time back I posted about a derelict Sky Zone 2 dish that was high up on a side wall of the house I moved into that I got someone to take down for me, the quad output LNB (Zinwell) had all four ports in use (it seemed two for the living room and two for the main bedroom) but whoever installed it never pulled down the shield, andthe F connector plugs & sockets had "rust bonded" to each other making the device useless. As above, several sets of pliers & a soaking of WD40 couldn't budge any of them, so I had to throw it out. Given that these don't seem to be one off isolated indicents, I wonder if installers failing to pull down the shield of LNB is just down to sheer ignorance, or that they're deliberately setting it up to allow for an eventual fail so that they're called out in future to "fix" it, with the average non-tech person not knowing any better about things like this?
