That's good advice. Every new place I've lived had serious cable signal quality problems. The Time Warner man spent over 4 hours here a few days ago replacing just about everything between the house and the pole until the internet, and digital cable worked properly. Don't let them blame your house wiring, or equipment. They always try to do that so they don't have to repair their own system. If you have to, tell him to run a new (temporary) wire between your cable box (or modem) and the main splitter.
