Directv and power conditioner

The last few days I have had signal problems on both my receivers. I called Direct and their are coming out Saturday. Now for my question. I have my satellite cables running through my power/surge conditioner. Every time Direct has ever come out they always say that that is why My signal comes and goes. They say that it creates problems and just to run the cable from the wall to the receiver without running the cable through my conditioner. Does anyone run their cable straight?

You can not run direct TV signals though that device, because of the phantom powering and control signals.

Direct TV should have a substantial grounding block, tied into the house ground, like this.



The techs at least round here do not do the job properly, so you have to do it for them.
