Hauppauge card giving me a shock




Hi all

I began to notice that the TV picture on my kitchen PC would, over time,
become worse and worse.  I went to check the aerial cable going into the
Hauppauge PVR 350 card and I got a very noticeable electric shock.  I
thought, oh well some static that had caught me by surprise.  Then I got
another one.  I noticed that if I run the coaxial plug across the metal
casing of my PC (I know - I know!) I can visibly see little blue sparks.  I
don't get this behaviour from any of the other aerial leads which are all
coming from a single booster.

I fitted the external aerial some months ago now and then added the booster
later to enable reception of FTA channels.

So any ideas?  I am wondering if it is what caused my CM12u to blow.

Regards

Anthony
