Surge Protected Power Board - TV Arial Protection - Fail filter

[wapfu]

Hi,

 

Right forum this time.

Purchased an 8 socket cinema surge protector from PB tech with telephone and TV aerial protection rf line suppression - bells and whistles - yadayada.

 

Connected the aerial lead thru the protector - how clever I was - daaaaaaaaaaa.

 

Wondered why freeview channels had disappeared on Kordia Channel 45 at 666mHz (interesting number - not the number of the beast).

It would appear that the surge protector had filtered out that channel some how or is it the fly lead - needless to say removing the aerial lead from it and plugging back direct restored all Freeview channels.

So do all so called surge protectors act the same?

Interesting lesson for moi.

 

Regards

Bill

Nope - I've seen quite a few friends with Freeview who have routed their aerial cable through their surge guards... and they have had been trouble free.

I have my uhf aerial for Freeview routed through my surge protecter and all working fine here. Must be a problem somewhere.

Thanks.

Change fly lead was the answer. Made one from rg6 coax. The premade one must have attenuated the signal. All good now.
