Remember that the STB stuffs about 20v down the Coax to drive the

Is this from direct experience or are you perpetuating an urban myth
here?


Define "electric shock".

When hooking up the lines for an OB in the peeing rain a good few
years back I was most miffed at getting shocks from the BT Block. The
lines where four wires and musics, no volts on them and the shocks
where DC, so not ringing on the controls. It wasn't until I put the
DEL on...
