Change the LNB
......is it as simple as a duff lnb
Yes
or coupled with the fact I am getting
That's AC leakage in the receiver. Normal.

I think if you study his posts, he states that the Voltage is sourced from the LNB.
If you take your statement to it's logical conclusion, perpetual motion is not going to be feasible on his trailer park.

I had a magnetic lnb years ago in the early 90's it was great you could adjust the skew infinitely one way then the other...used a Robsat analog receiver and a prime focus dish.......

I assumed I was when I said (and you snipped):
"When I was installing systems for friends and family there was a separate polariser but I'm guessing these things are all built into the LNB these days?"

Have you considered the possibility that a voltage originating in the receiver might be connected to the wrong place by a fault in the LNB?

If a statement is obviously wrong there's no need to consider it.

They all do it except the early Amstrads. It's a tiny current. Bill

Yes. They all do it. Absolutely all of them except early Amstrads. If a system isn't earthed and it feeds a lot of sat boxes you can get a real shock off the dish.
You might be able to google something about the fact that you can feel the 50Hz if you move your finger across a painted cover. It only works when it's painted.

Yes. Disconnect both at once. If you still get a shock from the dish cable it's static on you, discharging to ground. Got new nylon carpets? I could tell you a story about a large TV shop where there was a major scare about earthing etc due to having new carpets. We fixed it with a plant sprayer filled with water. For a few days anyway!

It lasts for months if you add a few drops of fabric softener.

I'd say there is a big difference between a shock (single instance) and tingle (continuous situation)?
