It was the kind of storm that knocks out all the power for miles and miles. When the power came back on, I discovered that I had I lost an expensive high definition TV, and a cable box to a lightning strike. The fact that it was only the cable box and the TV that got fried made me suspicious that the surge had come through my coaxial line. After that, I decided that I had to do something to protect my devices, so I bought this coax surge protector by Dayton. Everybody always buys surge protectors for their phone lines, and their power lines, but very few people consider the real danger of a lightning strike damaging your expensive audio video equipment through your cable line. It should be an obvious danger, because if you think about it, your cable gets knocked out by lighting almost as often as your power, and if you watch TV during a storm, the static interference should be a warning that lightning is threatening your equipment. I can't believe I never thought about it before. Buying a new TV, is all it took to convince me to go ahead and purchase one of these things. They're incredibly inexpensive, and the audio video guru's i know say they're very reliable. Having surge protector like this could have probably saved me about 1200 dollars. There are a few different types of coax surge protectors, and this is the one my friends recommended to me. It was easy to install, and it's had no effect on the quality of my TV signal. I feel much more secure now that I know I have this hooked up. If I had realized these things existed, I would have protected my equipment years ago. Anyway you have a great site here with lots of information about surge protectors. Just thought I'd share my story. James A few months back, there was a terrible electric storm in my neighborhood.
