[QUOTE="Llew, post: 969609, member: 175007"] I have (had) two TBS5925 CJ. My second one has worked well so far, after a year. The first one started to perform erratically after a couple of years, in that it would shut down suddenly during a scan. The problem was, it didn't like LNBs whose current requirements exceeded 150mA or so (e.g. my XMW Ka band LNB ). After a while, it didn't fancy working [I]any [/I]LNB. I checked the minimum load it would take before the cut-out operated using a rheostat, and found the short-circuit cut-out operated when it was supplying anything over 20mA! So it seems its LNB cut-out circuit developed a weakness over time, or it's not up to providing higher loading of its input. Or maybe I just had a dodgy unit. [/QUOTE]
