An odd thing happened when we installed a coax suppressor. This was in a
new home with a new Cox coax feed. Our cablemodemworked fine, but we
lost about half the cable stations from our cable box to TV. It was not a
channel filter. Cox advised us to remove it, and all channels were back.
I haven't tried another suppressor.


Those protectors do not even claim to provide needed protection.
Read its specs. It does not list protection from the typically
destructive surge.

Complete nonsense.

Third, to block surges, that in-line coax protector must stop or
absorb the same frequencies that carry TV signals.

More complete nonsense. Get a suppressor rated for what you are using.
