Losses we HD TV, Surround sound receiver, X-10 module, computer

The good news is: I now have a 47" TV with far better picture than my 5
year old 32" and a better sound system.
More stuff is on surge protectors too.
Out of curiousity, is there a lightning arrester on service entrance? They
can help before get to the individual protectors.
In TN some years ago, took nearly everything in the house behind a friends
including dislodging about half of the brick veneer off rear of two-story
mini-McMansion...it's pretty amazing what it can do, indeed.

Nothing on the entrance. I'm debating whole house surge protection.
Initial cost is about $150, then a $6 monthly charge. Over the years I'm
still ahead, but. . . . .
What's the $6 charge for?
Good a time as any to ask if this is what I want when I get around to
it-

5yr warranty- 400Amp or less panel- $10,000 warranty
$149 delivered
OTOH, I'd not have a new big screen TV for a while without the lightening.
There's your silver lining- I think I'll put it off until something
gets my 10yr old TV.g
