I am using my old dishnetwork dish connected through a 1X4 switch with another Universal LNB on my Fortec dish setup. I think I just fried another switch. I know, I know, I should turn the receiver off before playing with switches. And I have not touched the switch since installing it just a couple of weeks ago.
Now, thinking what might have caused the problem, I may have ruined the switch by plugging and unplugging the RCA audio and video cables in and out of the VCR when I occasionally taped something. And yes, when I did that the receiver was still on. Do you think that's the problem?
