I was wondering if you had a surge protector in line with your receiver/ TV. If not, it might not be a bad idea to do that.

There are various uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) that have surge protection and also provide power for a limited period of time used for computers. If you live in a lightning prone or surge prone area, you might want to consider one of these. I wouldn't worry about the overall power rating too much because I suspect that all you need is enough time to power down your equipment.

Power line surges/ spikes can do strange things to your expensive equipment, even if you have the power switch turned off. I think that it is much better to be safe than sorry. It only costs a little more to be safe.

Just one man's opinion.
