Section of LNB IN on V8 Finder BT03 is warming.

Hi Guys;
I got the GT Media V8 Finder BT03 from Aliexpres.
I made the antenna settings easily.
Something caught my attention. The LNB IN input on the V8 Finder BT03 is warming in the metal part.
Is this normal?

Ok. thanks so much for interesting.
In this case, I forgot to tell that I use LG cellphone charger 5V 1.8A as a power supply instead of powerbank.

I have had a lot of Freesat units that heat the LNB output.
There is a lot of electronics in a small place there and it may be designed to use the cable fitting as a heat sink.

If it is so hot you can not hold your hand on it then there is a problem. I have only had them warm to touch.

Earth loop currents may heat your unit too. These are currents flowing from unbalanced equipment through the earth wires to discharge to another point.
Things like electric fences and power supplies with no "Earth" pin can do this.
