Hi,
A cable technician came out today to do something unrelated to this question. Anyways, while he was working he said he got shocked by one of the cables. He said a device inside my device was transmitting power back through the coax cable. He tested a few of the connections and found that a TV on the main floor of my house was the problem.
Have any of you experienced a problem like this or can tell me what would cause this? He said that sometimes the TV goes bad and can transmit power back through the system. He said worst case scenario is that a splitter goes bad over time or a fire could start. The TV works fine and I have no problems with it.
I have a multimeter but am not sure how to test it out myself. Anyone know?
Thanks for the help.
