Re: [Connectivity] Lose sync when using 1 splitter?
I do have a truck setup for tomorrow but just want to make sure it's not "my" problem so I don't have to pay for the visit  |

Gary, IN | I just put the splitter in after the modem for my bedroom tv and the signal went up to 54db so the splitter is costing me 3db's |

| Ok, I'll keep an eye on it till tomorrow before cancelling the visit and see what happens, since I used to lose sync a few times a day I guess I'll know by tomorrow if it's gonna be ok or not.
Thanks for all the help |

Snohomish, WA | I'd keep the appointment unless it sudden gets much better on it's own (like stable a 45dB)
assuming you want to be able to keep your bedroom tv attached |

| Ok, I'll keep it and have them check it out. I would like to keep the bedroom tv w/o having to run a cable through the house(that's why I share it with the modem)
Thanks again. |

Snohomish, WA | Glad that worked out. Did he say/you happen to see what he changed?
BTW your new signal level and SnR look excellent, you should have great speeds under all conditions |

| They changed some of the pole to pole line, don't know how much but was told by the tech yesterday that it's rated at like 18yrs and was about 26yrs old. I'm sure they didn't change any amplifiers since I was told they were about 6k each  and Gary, Indiana sure can't afford any |
