1- I have DVB card connected to a PCI slot. As you know the anntena cable has shield that is in contact with the metal body of the PCI card which is in contact with the case. The LNB is DUAL which another reciever is connected to it and the user of that reciever reported shock! That was the reason I looked for a problem and Had the reciever checked and had no problem and had the power supply checked with a friends Power supply Tester and showed no problem that was when I started looking for the problem with a Contintuity Tester and BINGO it lighted when touched the case body! 2- can a not grounded PC power supply cause device over heats occur sooner when under heavy loads like games and ...? |

As has been already been pointed out need to have all of your systems and satellite cables grounded to the same ground. Until you do that you stand the chance of someone getting electrocuted since you have live power on your case cover.
