Well last weeks severe weather here in Ohio took its toll on my electronics. Do not know where the lightning hit but it killed my 40" Samsung TV, cable box, internet modem, router, and my PS3. The TV is covered under the extended warranty I purchased and the cable box & modem where property of my cable company so those were replaced at no charge. The PS3 & router I have to replace.
I have everything on 2 surge protectors but obviously they don't hold well to lightning blast. So what should I be looking for when wanting to protect my equipment from these kinds of events? My budget is not very high and I think the surge protect for the TV, PS3 and cable box was around $70. I really am amazed that my PC was not hit as it was running but in sleep mode.
Suggestions?
