Bingo. A few years ago I went to my exercise room in the basement to find the TV signal blacked-out. Investigating, I went outside and found that someone had destructively cut the RG6 cable in about 3 places. Just the one cable, not the one feeding the upstairs; and not the telephone wires (as a vandal or burglar might have done). Had to have been done by a Comcast enforcer coming onto my property without my permission. Apparently, they still had my address listed in their records as 2 separate units instead of single-family. How annoying, but revealing in what their corporate policy motivations are. Rather than complaining at them, I just re-routed the offending wire within the interior walls. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
