Hey Patrick; You've mentioned (and received some replies about it IIRC) "leaky cable." I would ask the cable provider to send out an RF expert to do some sort of RFI check and look for the culprit. I know that Charter may be in tough times but sometimes the local offices of major companies still want to provide great service, regardless of what Corporate HQ is going through. Power companies are even more helpful. Maybe it's a bad splitter or one run is bad. Do you have digital cable? If so, leaky runs can destroy the signal and make the digital channels (and HD) break up, unpleasantly. I have AT&T U-verse and at the first sign of pixelation, I call. One was a bad duplexor and another a bad ground connection. U-verse probably has more RF issues than cable, from the back-up battery and required Router but I can use a ULR within 6' of them with no issues. I'd see about getting the leaky cable issue fixed.

Here, it doesn't look like any DSL unless someone pays $1500 to get it here. Our population in Clatsop Plains is not enough to warrant them to spend the money needed. DSL is less than cable internet, but who wants to spend $1500. A person would really want it bad or have lots of money. We do have cable, but again it is leaky. The pros & cons of living in rurall areas. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
