| ecman Sorry, missed the part about you having cable.
Well, unless you are paying for the big package..its probably not digital that you are getting to your TV. I know some of the companies switched all their channels to digital to be able to cram more in, but most left the lower channels alone for people that don't want to rent boxes.
I got a little bit of that pixilation last week, but only when we had some storms in the area..I presume it was affecting the digital feeds to the cable company. I'm not sure if it affected my garage(analog) TV or not.
Actually had to trade in my cable box after the changeover, the old one I had couldn't pick up 3-4 channels, even though my direct connected TV's and VCR could.
If it does continue during good weather, I'd call the cable company for an explanation or a service call.
Hey on a different note..I had to have my phone line moved on the house for clearance for some future construction. They couldn't really tell me how much, but said they would send a guy to give us an estimate, said it would prob just be a service call charge. Guy showed up and said they had put it in as a new service + line drop. Said he'd write it up on the order and tell them $45. (after I saw how easy it was, could have done it myself..but it is THEIR side of the box..so, better safe than sorry)
Well, bill came in and it was 2 charges of $30 ea, new service + line drop. Called Cust Serv and told them of all the problems.
BADA BING...dropped both charges for my trouble...COOOOL! __________________
