I have Suburban Cable, and the reception on every channel, except C-span, is simply and completely and always--bad. I've tried everything I can think of: dedicated line with only the TV plugged in and nothing else connected to it, different TVs, isolated grounds, line conditioners, Radio Shack tweaks, nothing makes it better, and nearly everything I do makes it worse. For really good reception on local channels I use indoor rabbit ears. So you're making me think I'm not nuts, it really is the cable companies that don't care about reception. I'm fishing a phone line below the tv so I can hook up the dish. I've decided enough is enough. Tonight I'm going to Crisis Circus and getting the dish, and perhaps a DVD player too. I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more. I'm telling Suburban Cable that 9/9/99 means: STOP PROGRAM!
