Maybe you can help out, it's been going on for a while my cable setup is like this:
Main Line --> 2 way splitter
2 Line Spliiter --> 1 TV and 3 Way Splitter
3 Way Splitter --> 2 TVs and a cable modem
I got digital cable a while back which includes a converter box, the converter box was placed behind the three way splitter. All the channels are crystal clear except 103-107 which happen to be Discovery networks (science channel, discovery health, etc) 103 - 107 is extremely pixelated often times the picture just freezes and the sound continues.
Natually I thought the cable box wasn't getting enough bandwith heck the signal is split 5 times, but my cable modem gets full speed and that's normally where a problem would rear it's head first.
I first ran a line directly from the main to the cable box with no splitters involved, same problem. Must of been a faulty box so I exchanged it for a brand spankin' new one, same problem.
I had the cable guy out here last week, he did level tests and says everything looks fine even with the splitters in place. The cable company even tested the box from the office.
Murphy's law: When he was here I couldn't replicate the problem. Long story short, I called the cable company, pissed and moaned their sending out a "senior tech" this Tuesday. I would bother but the Science channel is my absolute favorite (I'm know I'm lame )
I was kicking around ideas last night as I was cursing the cable company for messing up my favorite channel. I figured the cable company's satellite feed is fubar'd --(but no one else complains because who watches the science channel anyhow? )but.. the regular discovery channel (15) is crystal clear, I'd assume all the discovery channels come from the same satillite feed at the headend which kind of kills me theory
In short.. Is there anything I overlooked on my end in the troubleshooting process? If these mofo's don't fix it, I'm getting Satillite
