I have a Philips surge protector SPP40611 and have tried hooking up a TV, DISH Network box and Hopper in many configurations, and I can't get any to work. How does the Master, Unswitched and Secondary outlets work. Thanks.

5 From the Philips web site: Why do the 4 secondary outlets not work? Answer The 4 secondary outlets only work when there is a device connected to the master outlet and this device is switched ON. Note: your main device (like TV or PC) must be connected to the Master outlet. The connected device to the master outlet must consume >30W continuously (Any laptop or energy saving light bulb will not function). Explanation: The Surge Protector detects when a connected device to the Master outlet is switched both at ON and OFF. The purpose of this Master +Secondary outlets is that if you switch on/off the Master component, all other devices connected to the 4 secondary outlets are automatically switched on/shut down as well. Low power devices connected the master outlet, consuming less than 30W (continuously) might not be detected. As such the Secondary outlets will not function.
