[QUOTE="windshear, post: 974470, member: 619"] The device that ends up causing the most issues is the dstv decoder. I don't know how many people have had HDMI ports destroyed through this device. I always switch off everything, but once even after being off 10 minutes, as I plugged the dstv decoder in i saw a blue static spark and that was my receivers port toast. Im not sure if the Highveld winter makes it worse and if static is the killer here, so always try and ground yourself and ensure all the devices in the chain are off, its not worth the hassels or cost of binning an expensive product.
