A hit near the house took out all the sat gear recently. TV, DVD, Decoders, LNB's, Motek drivers, the lot

Looks like the pulse came through the coax cabling, since the electronics were unplugged at the time. Being familiar with electronics I had a look at the gear vis a vis repair, but lightning damage is extensive throughout everything and, in my experience, never worth chasing up.

Got a new tele and vast box and a GTsat v8 Nova (Freesat) on order, along with a replacement Motek box. Also a replacement c band lnb from Strong (SRT L928) which is a new release model and hopefully better than the old Zinwell it replaces.

I'll now have to consider a coax inline surge arrester and wondering if anyone has experience and advice regarding these?
