Hi everyone. Had a question about the issues that I am having with my TV reception. I have Comcast cable and since last week my TV has been freezing once every hour for about 10 seconds and there are interupts in audio and video in blocky spurts. Wanted to see if this had to do with a signal loss or is it the cable company? I have had everything hooked up for about a year now and this is the first time I am having problems. I have about 60 feet of cable routed around room along the wall under carpet to get to my TV. Any help much appreciated, thanks!

I didnt call them yet, but I'm sure they are going to say the problems it is on my end. I wanted to get an opinion before I called them.

It happens on certain channels, more on some than others. By the way I have digital cable.

Have Comcast come out for free, have them check your signal strenght and all connections.

Thanks Fewalt! I thought they would charge to do that.
