[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1016286, member: 82144"] "Short" is short (sorry! :D) for short circuit. Basically it means that there is little or no resistance for the tuner power supply. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit[/url] If any of the small wires from the braid/sheath in the cable are touching the inner core, or if the inner core is somehow bent and touching the PC case... that is a short circuit. Edit: To be clear, in the case of a short circuit the resistance is low. Therefore the tuner LNB power supply will send max current (power) into the cable. This will cause the cable and tuner to get quite hot. This has little to do with the PC PSU; everything to do with proper connections and the tuner => LNB power supply. [/QUOTE]
