HELP!!! : )


By: Kristi ( (-REDACTED-) )

If the measurement is dbmv, is 12dbmv adequate to provide signal to a converter box?

The cable co. is telling me that the signal is not strong enough for the converter box and that
is why the pay channels (HBO/Cinemax) sometimes either go out completely, turn white almost
like a reverse negative and the sound turns to static, or goes black then regenerates in blocks.
Sometimes the Preview channel (the Cable TV guide/channel list) is fuzzy or channel 3
which is NBC. When the tech came to my house, he said the signal to my house was 100
and the signal to my TV was only 12 - thus the problem. The cable co. says I have to have
the problem with the inside wiring fixed myself and if there is still a problem then they will fix it.
