It's an older Belkin model. I realize it's supposed to take the hit, but I've always been told by electricians that NO unit can save your stuff from a direct hit, and I know this hit was very very close. Also It's possible the hit came in through the cable and spread out through the cable box. I didn't have the cable ran through the surge protector because it degraded the signal so much. As far as the sub goes, it was just plugged into a regular wall outlet because it sits in the back of the room away from everything else.

I may still look into getting a new one before too long. Any recommendations? Preferably not Monster......

And now that I think of it, I lost a printer too. LOL

ETA: For logistical reasons it would need to be the type that can sit in a shelf in my HT stand where everything plugs into the back of it. The kind where everything plugs into the top won't work.
