It sounds like you have the SECO SPD at your meter. That is Primary Surge Protection. But as good as these SPD are even if a small surge gets by it you need those plug ins (point-of-use) SPD on sensitive electronics and appliances that you value. SECO gives you a starter kit but you may need to purchase additional SPDs for all of your electronics. For your TVs you need a multi-plug power strip to plug in the TV, cable or satellite receiver, and any DVD player. Then the coaxial cable that comes from the wall outlet should be connected to the "In" post on the power strip and then another short length of coaxial cable is connected to the "out" post and then into the TV. The same concept applies if your computer uses a telephone connection as that should also be routed through the power strip as well.
