Scanner was joking
Since yo didn't post any hardware
I can only guess your LNB is not compatible with your old receiver

List in detail all you got
List no life stories including:
dish,
LNB,
receiver brand
Bin PGM
etc.

Most people blow new switches immediately because they do NOT unplug the receiver while configuring the cable wiring and switch..

and most switches are only $5, so what do U expect for $5...buy a few spares..and weatherproof them in tupperware container or install in attic or basement..

If they ground metal case they won't blow it
But it is true some transformers inside case use very thin wires
can't handle higher than 250mA to 300mA
14v/75 ohms=200mA
18v/75 ohms=240mA

In Many cases recivers left on horizontal transponder uses 18v can be very close to 250mA
If metal case is properly grounded it won't spike exceeding 240mA

Grounding case is best precaution
And good weather proof connectors
That DMS is a good weather resistant
But just like anything else higher quality is higher price
