A similar thing happened when we first got cable internet. After it was installed we noticed that we had a lot less channels on TV, down to very basic cable. A cable guy came out and said "Oh, someone installed the wrong filter, if you just take this off you'll get all your channels back." pointing to a little metal round thing in the cable line going to the TV, near where the cable comes into the house. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
