[QUOTE="TheAddict, post: 372192, member: 88123"] Ok Guys.. so after re-doing my dish install etc today.. i have reason to believe that my 3 day old HVR-3000 has a fault, on the back of the card just behind where the SAT plug is (under the sheilded part) is very hot, abnormaly hot, and i have no voltage output on the coaxial cable out of the receiver, could someone please confirm that the middle copper wire has around 13-18V on it if you have a Hauppauge product (or any sat receiver for that metter - this should be an standard?)? also im just thinking maby due to the length of coxial cable i have been using (30m) the LNB etc may have been drawing too much current/voltage from the receiver? does anyone know what kind of lengths are acceptable before an amplifier/repeater/power injector should be used? i have installed the card in a similar computer and no voltage or tone (on the sat finder) was detected, also using shorter cables. and the same very hot card situation. Surely Hauppauge have over current/voltage protection on these cards? maby i just got a bad apple? :( [/QUOTE]
