I hit the credit card for two yesterday. I already had surge protection on
my computers and AV gear but not on my antenna wire and phone line (and
they're at opposite ends of the house).

Seemed like a good deal to me. I've looked at these before but they were
~$100 each then.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I was able to snap one up online at
what is a great price.

After our MySky hard drive malfunction (probably caused by all the
power fluctuations and failures we have in Northland) I wanted to get
one of these for the new MySky box, and television and DVD recorder
we're currently looking for.

What is their clamping speed? I can't see that in the specs. I have
one here which is less than 1 nanosecond. Many are stated as less
than 20 nanoseconds.

Mate, I'm in unfamiliar waters with this question. From the leaflet that
came with it outlining the claims process for the Attached Equipment
Warranty I find a 'Specifications section with this:

Normal - 710V
Mode - 1,300 Joules
Active-neutral - 40,000 Amps.
Clamp voltage @ 400A 8/20uS impulse energy rating, 8/20uS impulse current
rating.

Common mode - 790V
Active - 700 Joules
+Neutral-Earth - 20,000 Amps
Clamp voltage @ 200A 8/20uS impulse energy rating, 8/20uS impulse current
rating.

Total Telecoms - 1,025V
Surge Protection - 64 Joules
MOV rating - 2,400 Amps
Clamp voltage @ 10A 2mS impulse energy rating, 8/20uS impulse current
rating.

Coaxial - 700V
Protection Gas Arrester Rating - 5,000 Amps
Maximum 1kV/uS sparkover voltage, 8/20uS impulse current rating.

HTH,
