For the cable company to say "the signals are weak" is inexcusable. It is their job to fix that, and provide flawless signals. That is what you are paying for. I remember in the 1980's, when I still had cable TV, I was getting herringbone patterns on the local channels that were part of the cable signal. I am sure the problem was from "real" OTA signals leaking into the system. The cable company swapped the box but the problem remained, and they said "it is probably just the limits of your TV's tuner". I told them I had one of the best tuners on the market (Sony Profeel VTX-1000R), and if they have a TV that will not display the problem, bring it over and show me. Gee, surprise, they actually fixed their broken system the right way within a few days...  |
That sounds about right. I dropped C***ast because they never could get my internet to work. They kept telling me my computer had issues when I fact my computer was fine (had it checked out). I finally blew my top and told them to disconnect the internet AND the TV cable. It was an act of congress getting them to disconnect the cable. For the amount of money they charge, the service should be perfect.
