In Reply to: Re: Installing coax "TV" cable for multi-room use. posted by revjac on August 09, 1999 at 10:08:29:
my cable tv supplier " Substandard Cable" , takes pride in their consistant poor quality of signal and service. I've tried fixing the ground, putting the rat shak amps in (much worse) and read somewhere that rat shak sells terminations for the unused cable ends. I bought a bunch because they're nearly free (and gave them Richard Nixon's address and phone number) but did't see any effect.So what's the deal on tweaking your cable service? I mean, besides dumping it altogether?
Well, I'm one to talk since I dumped cable 2 years ago in favour of DTHS but if your cable feed is "that" bad, you're probably getting a very poor signal delivered to your door - There's ways to check that, the cableco can and should do it - You're paying for a decent signal, I'm sure they're obligated to provide you with a minimum signal strength that should be of consistent good quality. If you're not (and check with the neighbours to see how they're signal is) - Scream bloody blue murder
