I have a very inexpensive surge protector with my digital cable box and 19" CRT tv plugged into it. Last night, about 1 min after I turned the tv on, it turned off and would not turn back on. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and the same thing happened again. So I got out a power strip and plugged it into the same wall outlet. I plugged the tv into the power strip and the tv worked normally. What does this mean? Is something wrong with the surge protector or the tv? The cable box works fine plugged into the surge protector.
