AH........ HA!!!!!!!

Victory!!

It turns out that having the television (any television) connected to the buildings roof antenna eliminates the current that the BC2 is carrying. This works as soon as the BC2 is connected to the television, in SOME way (AUX i.e).

Everything that is connected (in my case it's the beovision, beolabs, beocenter) now has NO current when touched. Amazing...

I wasn't exaggerating on how strong the current was, my fingers are very sore from the amount of times i got a small electric shock. The TV antenna especially, (rabbit ears) was holding a nasty current, OUCH!

 

So, the soloution in a nutshell for me was to connect the system to a, assumed, powered / earthed roof antenna.

Wow that is bizzare!!

Glad you have it sorted out Dave!! I wouldn't like my BC2 to be lightly-electrocuting me either!!

Did Mr Midnight Oil recently do a roof insulation upgrade for you ?

No idea about the insulation, the building i am in, is from the 70's, and doesn't appear to have had much / if any maintenance since its hey day.
