The TV, the DVD player, and the cable box were all plugged into the same surge protector. The box is the only thing not working properly, and I asked the tech support guy why it died and the other stuff lived. His answer wasn't very "satisfying"; he just said the boxes are extremely sensitive. Maybe I can get a better answer from the guy who comes out with the new box.
The surge protector is supposed to be designed specifically for "home theater" equipment and has $250,000 worth of warranty coverage. Except the only thing damaged was the freebie cable box.
I don't know. I inherited the care and feeding of all this stuff after my husband died; they were his toys.
