Item works just as it should. Amazon by far the least expensive and now I worry no more about my entertainment equipment

This was extremly worth it. When the cable tv was running through the stage 2 cleaner it helped to deaden the hum found in the speakers and mostly eliminate interference lines in the picture.

Receives cable HD signals just fine.

Plus Monster has a life-time warranty. Something happens to it just send it in for a replacement.

I don't recommend most of Monster's items but this was one that turned out to have been worth it. Recommend a reference power center though if you can find one on a serious discount and/or [...] as so happens now and then.

Monster products yield high quality generally. They just tend to be pricey at certain retailers. Do you need 'em? Well when you're laying out thousands for an HD TV, for a hundred bucks more---it's good insurance and if it reduces spurrious noise produced by all the other electrics in your home my thought was why not. The device here has plenty of outlets and you can tell by its heft that it's manufactured with high quality components. Most satellite providers will tell you that the traps for the incoming satellite will hurt the incoming signal on HD---so the installer told me to bypass the filter for that use. Don't go for the chaep strips out there. Buy it you'll like it and it'll likely be the last one you buy.

I recently had a noticable spike in our power that woke up my whole family. All our cable boxes went bananas except for the one I had hooked up. I have a Westinghouse LCD and the picture is a little clearer now. But I can't give it a full 5 rating only because I still don't think the price tag justifies its functionality. However, I promise you that if you buy it from amazon you will pay less!!! Best buy has this same product for 179.99 plus Taxes. Amazon had it for 102 w/free shipping. And with prime, I got it in two days. Just this purchase made the prime membership worth it. Getting stuff in two days is cool. and i didn't pay california sales taxes. sweeeet

This product is on the way to my house currently. I wanted to let people know that according to Monster support, they updated the 1000 to the 1000 MKII. The MKII version will support HD satellite and cable. I don't have it yet to personally testify but it is coming.

4 stars because I had to put something there.

Note the MKII is not in the title but is in the product details section.
