Yes that does make a lot of sense.  I’ve done a little bit of research
and found surges though coax cables can be just as damaging as through
mains.  I never gave coax cable must thought until your response.  

Surges through coax may also explain why I haven’t been able to get
routers to live a very long life here.  I keep buying more and more
expensive routers and they don’t last any longer than the previous
ones.  I also have a Squeezebox Receiver which will no longer connect
via Ethernet (after almost 2 years of trouble free performance).  I
replaced it with a Touch and now the Receiver is in a closet ;-)

I now have the cable routed through a surge protector in an effort to
prevent a repeat of this.  

I have now discovered the Damaged Touch no longer responds to the I.R.
remote.  I haven’t yet decided what to do about the Touch and amp.  All
this expense comes three weeks after I replaced my computer (which
thankfully was not damaged).
