Quote:i've also had it say that it's searching for a signal. WTF!!!!! it's hard wired god dammit!!!! i realized that the signal comes through the cable and that it is connected to some sort of dish somewhere but it is fucking rediculous how poorly this "revolutionary" new service works.you can call tech support - they need really high quality coax for this, but the guy that does the initial installation probably will try to get away without changing wires.
I had to have guys come back 3 times, but all the coax & splitters in my house are now new, and at no cost. (the cheap splitters you buy at home depot are no good).
They'll do this as long as they can verify that the signal strength is bad.
Of course, if you have an 3rd party card, ignore all of this (and let me know ;-) )
