Almost 7 years ago, a lightning ground strike got my big TV. I called
Showtime TV Service in Belleview. Two gentlemen came to the house, tested the TV and gave me the bad news. Have to order part and install, about $400 total. The TV was new enough. Should I? Shouldn't I? I went for it.
Six days later, they came back and fixed it. Prompt, polite... nice people. It still works. Since then, I also put in a coaxial surge protector on the cable.
