My point was it can work through a surge protector but it can also be a problem. The cable guy was probably spouting the company line to avoid troubleshooting possibilities. Someone who uses one may encounter issues (as I did) and automatically ruling the surge protector out isn't a good idea.

I had a digital C-band system a few years ago and the 4DTV unit got fried by a lightening strike. I went to Best Buy and bought a $70 monster surge protector, but it caused a lot of artifacts on the digital channels.

I asked Monster about it and they sent me (free of charge) a $200 surge protector which I still use. So it really does depend on what you are willing to spend (and I still buy Monster products because of that experience).
