[mythtv-users] Protecting against power surges

Does anyone here have good recommendations for how to properly (if there is
such a way) protect their gear from electrical surges?  Depending on the
environment, surges can enter the network via the AC lines or networking
lines.  I've traditionally relied on metal oxide varistors (MOV), but began
reading up on them lately and am feeling less comfortable with the idea of
a device degrading and silently failing.  Is there any reliable protection
which doesn't involve air-gapping the networking lines and running the
protected electronics behind series-mode surge protectors?
