Thats bad. And its their duty to change it if that is happening......
I informed them in just few min after the guy went and installed it.....they just said dnt touch the top and sometimes current comes from the top....now what could have I done when they are saying it happens.....plus I dnt need move STB so I didn't bother about it anymore

Oh, so u already have a way around the problem!!
Mine is a different case. The place where the STB is kept, is cleaned up daily.....so even when the TV is on, the STB's place is changed temporarily.
Btw, what is the make of this TS STB?? I had read rumours of it being Chinese....
no idea of the make....could be Chinese not confirmed

I got banned!
also if u try to touch the TATA STB from above you might get occasional currents...hmmm...bad quality !! btw I complained about this issue to Tata Sky CC their response was sir plz dnt touch STB from its top :rofl:
Here I am assuming that there is no problem with the electrical wiring.
This slight ‘shock’ is common in many TS STB’s, is due to a ‘half wave rectifier’ being used in the power circuit in the unit. This is a cheaper option, many circuit designers use. Better quality gadgets always use a ‘full wave rectifier’ in their circuits so users don’t face a ‘shock’. I had complained too as soon as it was installed & then later to their CC but the answer is the same ‘just ignore it’. :isleep:
Why am I not surprised.:evil:
No indication of it being Chinese on my units. I remember my CAS STB's were made in Sri Lanka
could be from SE Asian countries as a lot of electronic/computer parts or CKD's are brought in from the ASEAN trade route.

.
The transformer+rectifier is in adapter and not the stb. The STB gets direct 12v dc direct. But the main point is that a rectifier has simply nothing to with it(avoiding technical jargon).
It just that the box is not properly insulated. Now by insulation don't confuse with earthing, low voltage dc devices almost never have earthing(moreover they have 2 pin supply ). They are actually given very high class plastic insulation which is more than enough to shield shocks.
In this case what i can infer is that the plastic used is of low quality which has resulted in this problem and hence 'CURRENT LEAKAGE'.
The best u could do is widespread old fashioned technique u can add secondary insulation by connecting a wire to the body of stb and then connect it to the ground/earth point in the socket. Of course do it only if u need it, like if u have kids in ur home, otherwise just don't touch it.
Some people have another problem too but i don't think its applicable here . People often complain abt getting a shock in spite of switches being off. This happens when the electric wiring is done in a wrong way and the 'switch' is connected to neutral instead of positive/live wire. Hence the device device remains at potential and leakage currents are formed.

ya thats what they are saying shock is common but that is total BS if someone files a complain in consumer court that they are selling products which give electric shock I dnt think it would very good fr Tata plus some of us pail like 6K for this cheap STB......nt to mention the fact ppl who have small kids and they touch the top of the STB and ppl who dnt knw abt....na not good !!

and still Tata Sky is a good dth provider??? i donno why people hail so much about tata sky....huh

I get shocks in my Airtel STB too... earlier i thought its my earthing problem.But when engineer came to readjust the dish, he told me that shock is common! He said it so confidently and as if its nothing serious, for a second i just kept seeing his face!

Airtel also is facing similar issues.....so no need to curse just TS, curse Airtel also now!!
