    Set Top Boxes and power injector isolation

    I have two newbie question about STB for the experts out there. Are any/all STB's easily damaged if there is a short on the line? Specifically, with the voltage being transmitted on the rg6 line to the LNB, I'm wondering if this is responsible for a problem with a Sonicview I recently had...
