First and foremost, I AM NOT your "pal". You claim to be a student yet you fail to learn young grasshopper. Using your own words:
"my experience has shown me that the power (even tho it is low voltage 13 - 18 volt) running thru the sat lines to juice the LNB for receiving sigs degrades the RG6 lines."
Well 13-18 volts at the amperage drawn by a satellite LNB will have no detremetal effect on a RG6 coax cable so what you are claiming as 'fact' is nothing more than your blowing smoke up our collective ass's.
Then you have the balls to try and tell me:
"you should know that if too much voltage is put on an rg6 or rg11 line it will kill the line."
Well you being such a grand student and that you:
"don't just splice or build the line but i am a student of it. i like to know why things happen to create probs i see so i investigate, not just cut in the maintenance, new build, or whatever just to make the dollar - i actually earn it, pal."
then you would know the most basic fact that it isn't the voltage but the amperage that kills the line. But instead you'd rather just be so full of yourself that you are going to teach me something. This has gone beyond laughable.
i guess i'm just some newbie moron that don't know anything, right?
I didn't say it, but who am I to disagree with you right? I mean according to your implications, all I do is:
cut in the maintenance, new build, or whatever just to make the dollar
Here is some free advice. Actually be the person you claim to be, at least on this site. Many, many, many people here know me personally and I don't BS anyone here. I tell it like it is. Your ludicrous claims are nothing short of BS and your followup comments do nothing more than show your disrespect for those of us which you claim taught you. You are far from being the teacher so your best bet is to be quiet and thank those of us that are still teaching you. Your original statement was BS when you made it and it is still BS.
