One note on the surge protector that I believe I read elsewhere here.
If you rent from SECO, yes it's $6/month, however they also
- replace it free if it gets "fried",
- they toss in a bunch of appliance/electronic surge protectors (that they recommend)
- and there's some kind of insurance on the major components.

You don't get those extras if you buy it or get one elsewhere.
I have NOT verified this since I've not yet closed, but I plan to talk to the SECO rep about these points.

Good luck in your move to TV
I got the purchased surge protector through SECO.

When I switched from the rental to a purchased surge protector, I got a whole box of appliance/electronic surge protectors and was told to replace the ones I had with the new ones.

I assume that if it gets fried it will be replaced.

And I believe there is insurance on the major components.

I just think the difference is rent vs buy.
