I was in BestBuy the other day buying a TV. THe clerk at the store was rather persistant (pushy)on buying their combination power surge/coaxial surge supressors. So my questions are:
Is this the best way to go for protection?
Are coaxial surge supressors necessary at all?
The clerk said "In case Lightning hits your home". I know this happens but really, if lighting hits your home your tv might be the least of your problems. I could see it doing damage to your electrical systems but what's the chances of lighting going on your cable line? Especially if your cable's properly grounded?

Thanks all.
Thanks guys.
