I know, I know, before I get blasted by everyone. I currently have the MP unit that I picked up for $300 before the Torus units came out. I'm looking to move to the RM20, but what about video protection (cable/sat) ?  What do all the Torus owners use for that ? Thanks.

I plug EVERTHING INTO THE TORUS,TV,SAT receiver ect.EVERYTHING even the motor that drives my TT .

Doublej: Thanks, understood (just ensure to ground the cable/sat) plug the video components into the Torus 

drummermitchell: Do you ground your cable/sat cable ?

Thanks all!

My Sat is not grounded.I didn't think it had to be.
The manual doesn't say it has to be or even the sat company.
I would think if it was mandatory that they would say.
I have had no troubles with the sat,noise or anything(clear as a bell).
I will say that a year or so ago we had a nasty lightening storm here and I had my computer plugged into a monster conditioner(forget which one) and my audio gear plugged into the Torus(15a)+sat and TV back then.
We'll my computer was toast and the monster(I replaced the computer)chucked the monster ..
The Torus was still on but all amps,components went into standby ..
i guess I'm getting a little off track( I do tend to get a bit excited).
If my sat isn't causing me grief I don't see a need to ground it,
                                If she ain't broke why fix it,works for me.
