Power drops or spikes cause short drop in TV picture

[NutritioN]

Hi, we have a TV that runs off a feed that is being received over ethernet via a powered HDMI sender/receiver setup. In the same room is a mini fridge and when its pump cooling system starts or stops the TV signal drops for a second or two. It's the HDMI extender that is being affected.

Do power surge protectors work both ways for drops and spikes? What can we do to minimise the effect of the fridge's cycles on other electrical gear in the room?

I did find some expensive third party AC adapters that would replace the one that came with the HDMI extender. But it's not really clear if this is appropriate for our issue.

Cheers!

Ace thanks, just needed more terms to aid the searches for solutions! Seen things like power purifiers and silencers for affected HiFi equipment but wasn't sure if that was the right angle to take. And some of that stuff looks pointlessly expensive. Will have a look and see if we can drop in a VDR & CONTACT SUPPRESSOR type thing for less than £20.
