Hi
I had to remove my dish for some work on my house, it was left outside in the back garden. I decided to upgrade the dish, and fitted it with the lnb from the old dish as it had been recently replaced. During the reinstalation l connected my sat finder to the receiver poker, and then to the LNB , the power from the reciever went off immediately. At first l thought the satfinder had failed, so l purchased a new one. I rebooted the reciever, and tried again, and the same thing happened, l replaced the LNB. Rebooted the reciever, when l connected the sat finder, it showed power, until l connected the new lnb then it went off again. I have not yet checked fuses in the reciever, l will do that tomorrow. I now suspect that water may have got into the first lnb and caused a short circuit when l connected it the first time. Could this have caused permanent damage to the reciever?
