Will this damage equipment like HDTV and other smart devices?

I haven't seen any adverse effect to our HDTV or to our phones. I'm no expert on this stuff, though...

Not sure, but I haven't experienced any damage or an increase in my utility bill.

I have seen no change in any we have, and with two grown sons still around the house there are plenty. None of us has noticed any change ... except for the lack of mice and even squirrels that some how got into the attic.

I would say yes. I have this product and it detects emf from TV and computer and even smart phone. I'm not sure what a dangerous level of emf is but this meter detects up to 5 milligauss.

If it's an old TV with glass screen before HD, it should be okay. However, I would not try this on computer screens or HDTVs as it may be too harsh for them.

Yes, should not be an issue. Ive had it for two years now connected to a camera on my TV, so far no issues.

No, not at all. but a good rule is to check your HDMI cable. If it has any damage to it, sometimes it can throw off the sound or picture quality. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems at all of any kind but I would check for any close magnetic interference as thiscan be the source of these kinds of problems if it's not a tv defect.

I am not sure but if your TV is taking a long time to come on, some are probably bad. I re placed all of them in the kit even if they were not swollen. I hope this helps.

None that I've noticed. I run Direct TV, Roku and a DVD player through it without any problems.

Check the hdmi output with a different device, and check the tv's input with a different device

Equipment uses standard 110 house current. Using 220 volts would fry the delicate electronics.

You will be using the adapter at a current that exceeds its rating. I doubt that you will damage your device. It is more likely that the adapter will burn out or have a shorter life.

Shouldn't effect the TV, have had no problems with burn in which isn't such an issue with the newer plasma TVs. Best spent monies, enjoy!!!

Probably, unless there is an hdcp issue. I haven't had any of those, though.

I have not found that this interferes with any other network devices. It does not have any effect on streaming.

I don't think it can hurt anything, but seems to be an useless adaptation. I have to guess you are short of AC outlets in the vicinity of your application. As the specifications clearly state, the outlet is 15 amps. As long as you don't exceed that, I can't see the harm. I have called Leviton in the past about other devices and their customer service is great. I suggest you call them and ask the experts. I also suggest you just skip this purchase and just buy a regular outlet and plug in your surge strip and/or UPS. I use this product for behind my wall mounted flat screens TVs so the that I have protection and the power cable doesn't show.

Of course, as long as you know the equipment they are using. FYI - the device has to be pointed at the equipment when it is turned on and off, for a few seconds. Make sure you show them that. People make the mistake of moving it away too soon and then everything is out of sync.
