My husband and I just bought a new LCD television, with a “special” surge protector to cut down on “bad electricity” which is supposed to prolong the life of our tv. Any ways, the “special” surge protector has three prongs and our wall outlet only has two prongs. I have another surge protector that will work in a two prong outlet; so I plugged that one in and plugged my “special” surge protector into it. I only plan on plugging in about 5 things so I know I will not over load the outlet, but am I going to hurt my tv? Also does this defeat the purpose of the “special” surge protector?
