Customer Review: Coaxial connections degraded signals
Summary: 2 Stars
I searched extensively to find a surge protector with 3 coaxial connections since we have a Direct TV HD DVR with 2 inputs, (to be able to record 2 channels at the same time,) as well as limited basic Comcast cable since we have 5 televisions and only 2 satellite boxes. This Tripp Lite looked like the answer... reasonably priced, nice setup, and even extra cables included, (although I had already ordered high end digital coaxial cables.) We have a new Samsung 46" HD LCD (LN46A6500) with a spectacular picture, a new Onkyo receiver (TXSR606B) and Harmon Kardon surround sound speakers which have totally changed our listening and viewing experience, and a new Panasonic DVD/VCR recorder, also wonderful. Our research confirmed that all of the inputs into this pricey setup needed protecting, although not the overly-exagerrated and costly protection (Monster) that the big box Best Buys and others would have you believe were necessary.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the same good outcome of the other reviewers with this Tripp Lite HT1010SAT3. The satellite picture was considerably degraded...the clear sharp edges were noticeably blurred and the channel changing was just as slow,(which I think is a result of the constant adjustment the tv and dvr tuners have to make because every program is filmed and broadcast in different formats ranging from digital 480i, 720p, 1080i, to 1080p. We've seen the same frustrating delays with several other HD TV setups with both satellite and cable. Could it be that all of these new sets are "upconverting" the signals making channel changing so much slower?) Our cable signal was so badly degraded through this Tripp Lite that the tv couldn't read the signal and said it was too low to read. I compared this with two other surge protectors with coaxial connections that I already had. The Philips surge protector I had connected to our other HD set, (Sharp LC32D64U, another spectacular picture!), worked fine, but it only has 2 coax conn. We also tried a Cyberpower 1090 which also only has 2 coax conn, and it worked fine as well.
The good news is that I bought this from Amazon, (it arrived in 3 days,) and returns are easy and with free return shipping. I ordered another 3 coaxial surge protector, (also through Amazon, of course,) this time a Panamax M8-HT. I'll review that after setting it up. And thanks, Amazon, for this review forum. It gives us valuable input in making our decisions.
