[QUOTE="Willi, post: 57063, member: 504"] Hi guys Wonder if you can shed some light on this. A few months ago, my entire rig was destroyed by lightning when it struck a tree 2m from my house. Even the LNB on the dish was buggered. The insurance assessor said that lightning probably hit the tree next to the house, jumped to the dish, through the coax to the decoder, decoder to the amp, and from there fried everything connected to the amp. Or at least, this was the theory. How plausible is this? If this is the case, the lightning proof multiplug that I have behind all my electronics might prove a bit useless, as the dish is connected straight to the decoder, with no protection whatsoever. If the insurance guy is right, how do I protect myself against damage? [/QUOTE]
