Tech said the Power Adapter can not be plugged into a strip?

Hmm. Thanks for your advise. So it seems it does not matter.



Mainly what Im concerned with is the tech said is the power strip does not distribute the same power evenly to all components, thus causing issues with your TV signal.

This is what Im concerned about most. But it seems most people dont see any difference.

You could even take this a step further & say most common UPS's don't deliver true sign wave power in the event of a power outage so don't use the cheaper uninterruptible suppliers (thus the substantial price increase for one that deliver sign wave power). The way I look at it (& I've used the strips for everything short of an overload) using even the cheapest one is better than no protection at all, save the cat/dog/ferret/child accidentally hitting the off switch.

UPS for me. I've had my HR20-100 and Antec MX-1 with 1TB eSATA plugged in for 2 1/2 years. Never lost a single recording.

I am going to use a power strip rated 2400J and plug it in there instead of wall. I just dont want to take a chance without any protection. Maybe DirecTV does this so they can have it break down and charge you for a repair.
