[QUOTE="dardruba, post: 626723, member: 243281"] I have 3 dual output LNB's on one dish. The 3 Inners go into a 4 into1 diseqc box and to the PC upstairs and the 3 Outers to another diseqc box and to my TM1500 box downstairs. Only one is viewed at a time. Watching Tour de France on the PC on German Eurosport the action got lively so I Shut Down the PC, quickly uncoupled the aerial turned to my old Pace analog box coupled up the aerial and watched the race on an old analog TV in English on Eurosport International. I now remember I'd felt a minor electric shock when my finger touched the copper but didn't think about it in the heat of the moment. Afterwards I ripped off the male F connector as I tried to uncouple the aerial, thats now been repaired. The PC failed to start up, that also involved time in the repair shop. More importantly I'm getting intermittant losses of channels on the PC and on the TV downstairs. I've just read Shut Down is a temporary state before switching off the power, so it appears I may have damaged one or both diseqc boxes in my rush. Confirmed by an installer who said he sometimes got no signal when he checked the diseqcs output. Finally my question, I need to update/replace the PCI card and the Receiver for my HD future. Is this system of 2 diseqcs still the best for my setup and if so is there a newer more efficient model I should be buying? [/QUOTE]
