Surge Protectors

May 02, 2011 6 Replies

Hello,



I'm going to purchase some surge protectors for my TV's and stuff.



I was wondering if I have a DVR that my coax connect to and the DVR connect to my TV, can a power surge zap my TV?



My reason for the question is because I want to know if I should bother with a surge protector with the Coax connectors or not.



Any help would be appreciated.


Let the 'Surge Suppressor troll flame war' begin. :(

You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid? on it, because it's Teflon coated.

a power surge will not pass through the antenna cable, but a lightning strike could.

Do you get many electric storms where you are?

Bull. It can exit through the coax, and enter through the power line.

If he typed all in uper case, it would be hard to tell him from 'roiboi'
