There is no surge protector that will work on the DTV coax.

Waste of money. You can put a whole-house protector on the electrical input to the house and that will protect you to some extent against surges on the power lines due for example on remote failures in switching etc But nothing simple will protect you against the effects of close-in lightning strikes You can get specialist companies who will install lightning protection systems using lightning rods surrounding your home (including your satellite dish) to create a "cone of silence" which will route the charge to earth without affecting your house.
The empire state building gets struck by lightning over 50 times a year, but the current goes from lightning rods to ground through big copper cables without affecting the thousands of pieces of electrical equipment in the building.
