Surgenders do they have any downfalls with Directv HD

[sbuell20]

I know that its not possible to have coax go thru traditional surge protectors, so I picked up some surgenders directly from surgeender.com site and found they have no negative effect on my Directv system that I have experienced. Any techies out there have an opinion on this?

Looking at the website SurgEnder.com | Protection for your cable boxes and modems! on how to install these units, I'd rather install them away from the receiver. Let them do their thing at the ground block for example.

It would be nice if they had some specs and technical information. The price isn't bad, however.

Actually from what i have read, for them to work effectively they need a properly grounded system i believe, cannot remember where i read that, but somewhere.

This is why I don't like having these units connected right at the receiver. Do you really want the surge to finally get redirected at the receiver? I'd rather have it done where it enters the house. But, isn't that what a properly grounded system does anyway?

I know HughesNet installers where i install offer these to this customers, when installed some installers put them on before the cables that connect to the modems, other installers install them on the actual wall plate then have the cable come off it.
