Don't let your receiver get zapped Did you know that a surge protector provides critical protection for your MSN® TV or WebTV® Internet receiver? Winter storms and lightning can create power surges that damage or destroy home electronics equipment. You can significantly decrease the chances of having to replace a damaged receiver or other electronics by using a surge protector with phone line protection.

To buy a surge protector, visit any local consumer electronics retailer, or you can purchase one online — just type "surge protectors" in the search field. Remember, be sure to choose one with phone line protection.

If you choose not to purchase a surge protector, a less convenient alternative is to unplug your receiver and your telephone line connected to your receiver when not in use. This is very important if you are going to be away from home for a long period of time.

Have a safe, surge-free winter!
