Bird..... your problem may not be the line at all. I have Comcast in 4 bedrooms (2 with the digital box) and also my computer. We have all premium channels too. I started having the same problems you described and they put me through some of the same paces as you.. just not as bad. They eventually agreed with my assessment.... I needed a booster.... runninng the coax through 3 splitters (one is an A/B switch for my daughter's room so I can turn it off without effecting service in other parts of the house), plus the 2 digital boxes with broadband on the computer the signal strength was weakened. We built our home 5 years ago and had it pre-wired in all rooms (4 bedrooms, living room [2 places], and utility room) and the only way to do it off 1 line to the house was use of splitters. By the way... I've been extremely happy with Comcast's service here locally.

If I'm lucky it ends looking out at the river while perched on the back porch.
Here's the view up the river.
Cujo and I (and lots of time the bride) slip out for a little fishing or just cruising before dark whenever we can.
No, it's not fall here yet. The photos are from last December.

Yeah, Gerard, not everything about Comcast is bad. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif The last time a converter box went bad, a service man came and replaced it on Easter Sunday. That time, since it was the one in the bedroom that is almost never used, I had told them I wasn't in any hurry and I was really surprised that they would send someone out on Sunday. This time, when the first lady I talked to said I could take the box to the office (closest office to me is closed on Saturday, but she told me where one was open) or that she could see when they could send a service man but that it might be awhile, I asked if she was going to prorate the bill if I waited for the service man, and that obviously angered her. She told me what a bargain I was getting (about $130 a month) and if I wanted it sooner, I could save time by changing it myself, which I did. However, the last lady I talked to, the one who scheduled a service call for Thursday, promptly told me she'd prorate the bill without my even asking. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
As with many large companies, I'm sure it just depends on which individual you happen to get when you call; some are good and some not so good.
I found a similar situation with the Internet service awhile back. I had a problem and suspected it was my own computer, but I called Comcast twice, and the people I talked to were friendly and seemed to try to help, but no solution. They both concluded that something about my browser was corrupted. So I reinstalled all my software; still had the same problem. So instead of calling, I tried Comcast's automated assistance; sent an e-mail asking about the problem, and within 10 minutes got an e-mail back with a link to one of their sites with detailed instructions on how to cure the problem. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif It obviously was one other customers have had and some of their employees knew what to do while others did not.
And Jinman, I like the antenna.

After the chores and the homework, as the day is winding down, I rest on the sofa taking turns cuddling the dogs. Molson, Glenfiddich and Harley stay on the floor...but Tetley and Tuppence argue about who gets to join Dad on the couch. Usually it's Tuppence (seen here), which is a good thing as Tetley is 104# and doesn't really meet the lap dog criteria any more! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
