Last year I wrote a article here on submit your Blog saying how I protected all my electronics with Clamper devices. One of these was an equipment DPS Guard Against Rays p / Cabos Clamper, I use to protect my equipment against discharges which may by the antenna of the Sky.
The DPS Guard Against Rays p / Cabos Clamper still working perfectly and fulfilling its role, But recently I changed my plan on Sky and I got a HDTV equipment Plus, that uses two cables, because you can watch one channel and record another at the same time, or record up to two programs at the same time.
Therewith, This second corporal was unprotected, so I made the purchase of a second DPS Guard Against Rays p / Cabos Clamper to call this second cable.
This time the packaging is different, a box instead of blister and without coaxial cable that came in the package of First Cable Clamper. Furthermore, the first had come with a coaxial cable in the package, I ended up not using because I preferred to do my own RG6 coaxial cable with mesh 95%, as the rest of the installation of my house.

I don't know exactly the reason for the change of packing, but my First Cable Clamper It was manufactured in 2015 and this second one was manufactured in 2012, then the packaging of this second must be old. The equipment is essentially the same, just noticed change in logo where the model name and position of a diode on the Board.
It is worth noting that the very Sky recommends the use of the Clamper multi-user installations through their commercial information, to avoid calls for firing of amplifiers. But, in the installation scheme they connect the DPS in just one of the cables that comes from the LNBf. But as I'm putting the DPSs next to the decoder, After 3 Switch×4, I thought it best to protect both cables.
The DPS Lightning Shield p / Clamper cables can be purchased in the following stores:

Interesting. But is that protection is considerable? Because I figured if a device so simple could solve the problem of hell, the SKY itself is not interested in providing these protetetores, Once her liable for damages caused,
Sky installs these protectors in collective systems to avoid technical calls. A single called should cost more than the own protector. In the case of residential installations the incidence of lightning is less, Maybe compensate more they risk burning the decoder, because the installation of the DPS would be complicated, needing a power point close to the antenna. This need existed in the old days for more than 2 points and they tried to eliminate through the comutadoras keys 3×4.
When his Yamaha burned, you came to complain to the SKY pay your prejudice?
Neither contemplated. Because the decoder of the Sky left intact. The discharge probably came through the VHF antenna, much larger and taller than the Sky, and connected directly to the receiver (to tune FM radio).
