Make sure ALL of his cable drops are terminated at a piece of equipment or are capped with a 70 ohm resister. Any open ends of cable act as an antenna. This is the most common offender! Make sure all splits go through a cable splitter of correct impedance. Make sure all cable splitters are turned the correct direction. Time Warner installed one backwards in my house causing poor TV reception. Lastly, your cable company has the option to "up" the signal strength at individual houses. Perhaps your neighbor's level is so low as to be a problem.
When I had my house remodeled several years ago the electrician thought is was OK to simply twist the cable center conductors and shields together and put wire nuts on them. He did this in several spots. Needless to say he got an earful from me. -- John Fritze Jr K2QY AARA president 2013 ACACES secretary 2013 Albany County RACES Radio Officer ARES ENY DEC Northern District ARES Albany County EC Hudson Div.
