Wow, what bad luck.  I would also be interested in a satellite TV protection 
device.  I imagine that lightning would hit the tower instead of the dish, 
but it wouldn't hurt to have some added protection.

Also before I even got any towers up last summer, we got nailed  with a
lightning hit that came through the Direct TV and took out our 60 inch 
screen
which was two days old.  Any place to get a Polyphaser for this that  won't
break the bank?  I believe Direct uses around 1.2 gHz.
As always thanks for the help.  I bet I get a usable answer in  an
hour...always happens!
