[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 380297, member: 193607"] My system took a hit from lightning one week ago. I heard a loud crack inside the house. I had disconnected my Sky+, routers and computers. My Pace 2600 was still connected when the bolt struck. It survived, (Pace once told me that their boxes have some lightning protection) but the LNB did not. Only one polarity on one of the four outputs was working. There are four cables buried leading from the dish, about 25 metres. The dish mounting is earthed, as it is bolted into the ground. The dish is a fibreglass Prodelin. There are two earth terminals on a quad Invacom. Would it have made any difference had the LNB been earthed? [/QUOTE]
