What do you mean by "There is a DC potential seen of -158v Current???"

Have you performed a leakage current test?

Is the sat system grounded properly?  Are there any outlets wired backwards 
on equipment connected to the sat system?

Most of the sat installs that I have seen have not been grounded or not 
grounded according to code.  If something fails that makes the ground hot or 
if an outlet is wired wrong and the system is not grounded it could find 
ground through the set and not blow a breaker.

One of our customers brought int a sony KV32TS46 that they claim was
sparking (from the ant input?)/ giving shocks when they were trying to hook
it up to a new satilite system...
The set was dead, Main fuse blown and worked when the fuse was replaced.
DC impediance is >2meg (Ant to plug)
No AC potential is measured when the set is pluged in and running
There is a DC potential seen of -158v Current???

Any idea what is normal for this set?
