How do you guys protect your system from lightnings? My 26" LCD has a busted Video Circuit + an obliterated Power supply section, the Yamaha receiver's Video section also is dead though the audio is still OK & the cable set-up box Video Out also is dead that leaves me to conclude that the lightning passed through the video section via the cable wire.
Actually the Cable TV wire was already unplugged when the misis knew there was strong thunder & Lightning BUT my 13 year old son told her that the TV is not connected to the aerial antenna so they continued to watch - kabam went the lighting struck the cable TV wire & all went kaput! Luckily the Yamaha's audio is still OK but the video section is totally dead
