well we just moved into the house in october, at that point we had comcast come out and run cable up to the bedrooms and all that. Had the problems i mentioned above, and they came out and tested the signal strength. Said it was weak even outside at the box (everything here is underground) The guy that was here played around with the 3 way spliter in the basement and put the cable that goes upstairs on the one output that loses the least signal. That fixed it for awhile, now the TV’s upstairs are getting crappy agian.

So just about all the cable and spliters are new from comcast. And like i said above, the signal is weak even before it gets to my house.
