No need of it while work from outside as those shocks r not much impact...I am used to it and others too not much effected surely... I am telling this according to my more than 30 years of sat tracking experiences bro. ..If any thing of cable connecting or jointing will be needed of power off as those may create shortcircutes... I was making power off only while connecting /removing cables to and from in Diseqc,PD,and other switches..before touching the lnb you want to remove tv and settop box plugs.you get too big shock that your body cant handle.so avoid next time
if you say someone next time then say too remove plugs of tv and settop box for safety.
Anyway now u said it and fine...
