Re: [H] Cable TV Problems

[Winterlight]

In my past, as a contractor, I have done lots and lots of cable, phone, and 
electrical wiring. I have seen this sort of thing happen when you have a 
bad connection, rather then a shield leak or over split. In fact, COX has 
told me about this in my area as regards to channel 3. A loose connection 
only seems to effect the one channel first.

I am pretty sure this has to do with the 3-way split instead of the
2-way.  Check out

Any effect on the cable modem?

When I have overloaded a splitter it always shows up across all channels, 
starting with the furthest TV from the source. You can buy digital boosters 
from Radio Shack, not cheap... around 40-50 bucks, that support cable 
modems and digital boxes. I have one here from Radio Shack, although I 
ended up not needing it when they solved my problem by finding the bad 
connection that was effecting my street. So I have never got around to 
connecting it.
