["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup, I was right...

Check out the "Pure AV" surge protector devices for example...

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?Section_Id=3D201705

which appear to offer CO-AX aerial cables, phone/ADSL, and mains surge
prot=
ection, and even claims an unlimited equipment warranty..

Of course, you could also adopt my strategy which is to buy a house next
to=
a church which has a very tall steeple with a lightning rod on it!
