And I, for one, welcome our new Ethereal in-line overlords!
I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground useless HDMI accessory caves.

In L3's defense, it has been a while since the ol' "I for one" meme reared its ugly head, and any meme is still preferable to the glut of "FIRST!"s we've been getting lately.

Im w/ ya L3..
I mean.. How does voltage get on the HDMI cable anyways.. Its gotta come thru the 110 going to a device first, then over HDMI.. Useless.. 1 device would be fried anyways, if voltage got on the HDMI..
Ive found more or less surge suppressors/protectors for other than 110 pointless.. Many times for example w/ RF connections, something breaks down over time and starts to add garbage to the signal.. Seen this w/ even Monster Brand..
I have a great Server Quality Rack system that holds my devices and has its own 'Sweet' Surge strip w/ breaker.. Also have an APC (i think) surge strip for my PC which backs itself w/ a warranty that would replace up to 10 Grand worth of electronics if it were to ever let a surge thru (think thats good for 10yrs too)
