Hello, would someone be able to help with an advice?
I have two questions.
I live in a house with several apartments. Yesterday, while the Sat-Technican changed something on the S.Dish on the roof, my Digital Sat-Receiver (3yrs.young) went dead. Nobody had come near it!
Normally it's on standby and shows the time, if the TV is off. I tested it, and there is an audible powersound on it, but no lights of sorts.
Here is the first question - is it possible, that it went bad/broke/whatever, because of the work on the Sat-Dish-system?? Or is it all a huge coincidence?
Secondly - the Technican now wants to sell me a new receiver. Contrary to the one mentioned above, which has two Scart-Cables, the one he brought has only one.
He says, it does not make a difference - I admit, I am not sure, if I can believe it. Because so far, he only got the TV to work with it. Therefore - I am clueless.
Will one be able to connect TV, Videorecorder and DVD-Recorder with only this one Scart-Cable on the receiver?
I hope, I explained understandable, as I am not firm with these technic terms in English, nor in my mothertongue, come to think of it. Sorry.
I am really grateful for any advice. Thank you so much and have a nice W/E

So let me get this right. A technician was on your roof, suddenly your receiver breaks and he wants to sell you a new one?! I think you are being conned and would ask another technician to have a look on your roof to confirm.
he was probably changing the LNB so he may have shorted out your cable which has "phantom" power on it to power and polarize said LNB so yes I would blame the technician
