<p class=MsoNormal>If you're experiencing missing HD channels and/or channels
that are constantly tiling(or pixelizing), your cable's signal strength may be
low. In which case, a cable amplifier may help you out. If you have a cable
modem/box, you'll want one with an "active return path".<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have a cable box, you can check your signal strength
via the box:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>- Press & hold the "Select" button on the
front of the box.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>- When an envelop displays on the box's screen, press the
"Info" button.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>- If the value for the tuner (usually in orange I think) is
between -10 and 10dbm, you should be ok<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>- Press "Exit" to....exit<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>If the value is too low, you probably need an amplifier.
If it's too high, you probably need to install a splitter.<o:p></o:p></p>

used both Dish and DirecTV. I have been very pleased with both satellite

and bought our first HD TV in Janurary. It was absolutely unusable.
After finally getting Comcast out here, the tech said that he was surprised
that I could even get standard TV. After a 2 month wait, and Comcast
doing nothing about it, I voted with my wallet and went to DirecTV. I
keep Comcast internet, which is ok.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Good Morning....<br>
<br>
When we first moved into the subdivision about 3 years ago, we were warned
that Comcast service was spotty here and not recommended. We went a
different route.<br>
At the beginning of this year, I remember seeing a number of Comcast's heavy
trucks in and out of the subdivision working on what I assume expanding their
coverage and lines...<br>
<br>
My question is this.... To those of you who have Comcast, are there any
issues that you can share or recommend at this point....<br>
<br>
Part B....when we had Comcast before in Alpharetta, customer service was poor
as the billing never seemed to be right....being charged for HD or extra
receivers etc that we did not have.... My wife wants no part of them
again due to the CS and billing.... I am having a hard time looking beyond
the bundle that they are offering on the Xfinity plan where you get all three
for $99 plus upgrades.....<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be appreciated by more than myself alone I am sure.....<br>
<br>
