So I guess you are saying that it's not the same concept of how coax loses signal when ran through something entirely different such as a surge protector. Is that right?

I only ask becase (just the other day) I decided to run my coax (in my living room) inside my Monster surge protector first, and then out of the surge protector to the television. I immediately noticed the reception was no longer as clear as before.

For that reason, I took the coax off the surge protector and now the coax is going directly to the television. I heard someone at Time Warner Cable who also mentioned this (downside) about running coax through surge protectors. And it was confirmed with my own visual look of the channels when I did it myself.

Again, though I know very little about grounding and running a coax through a ground block where the line comes into the house may be entirely different (as it relates to any signal loss). I appreciate any additional feedback.
