My cable internet goes out during the day but is fine when weather is cool. Do I need to rewire house?
Q. When weather is less than app. 80 degrees I have internet service. When it gets hot I lose service. The cable company installed it on the eave of the roof, but laid the 75 ohm cable across the roof. I moved the cable so that it no longer ran across the roof and gained another couple of hours during the day of connection time. One of the contractors they sent said that if we could use the outdoor cabling the company uses we would probably be fine, but the company won't allow them to use it indoors. Since we have no crawl space to run wires. Do they make heat resistant 75 ohm cabling? Or can I increase the signal to the cable modem with an amplifier. The cable company hasn't offered any options except drilling through the walls,… [cont.]

A. it might not look pretty but try wrapping the cable in tin foil. Or get a length of pcv pipe and run the cable through that.

What cable is best to run from my cable box to my tv?
Q. I have a standart cable box that comes with multiple options of outputs to be sent to my tv. Both are standard definition. My options or a single Coax cable, the three pronged rca cable, s-video, component (5 pronged), and a digital audio out (1 prong). Any ideas as to the best of quality? what about digital audio? or should i use the regular audio?
Asked by sinan a - Wed Feb 14 14:34:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The best cable to run to your TV is an s-video cable, if you don't have a digital or hi-def TV. The S-video is simplest. None of the other cables will produce much of a difference in reception because all of the cables are analog. The S-video standard was designed to be an improvement on a plain old analog cable, but it still isn't digital - it just requires less filtering and was designed for less interference. If you want the best sound, definitely use the digital audio out cable, but run it to your stereo. It sounds like the digital audio is a copper cable and not a fiber cable, so your stereo will need to have that receptacle.

What is the best connection to use from my cable box to TV?
Q. Currently I have a coax cable connecting my digital cable box to my TV. I recently found out that this is not the best connection. It appears that I do not have HDMI or component ports on my cable box but I do have an S-video port. Should I connect the cable box to the tv by S-video? If I do so, will I also need to connect the two with an audio cable? I don't understand why any connector (hdmi, component, s-video) from my cable box to tv would improve the connection over coax. The cable line (from the outside) that goes into the cable box is coax. Why would it improve if the cable goes through the coax and then one of the above connections??? Isn't the quality already diminished due to the coax cable from the outside??? I'm a… [cont.]

A. First off you NEED a HD box from your cable company.Then you need a HDMI cable or Component Cable (red,blue,green) with audio(red,white). Both will give you better picture than you have know. HDMI does audio and video Digital cable is sent to your box via numbers 0's and 1's which you cable box "converter" translates into a picture.

Can cable companies take any cable wire and make it into an outlet?
Q. There is a white cable wire running along the border of my door and along the floors above the border in my apartment. Can a cable technician cut this wire and make it into a connector so that I can plug that wire into a cable box? Is that a simple, cheap thing for them to do? Like anywhere the cable runs, they can just cut it, make a T splitter of sorts so the cable is uninterrupted, and then out of the bottom of the T, you can connect that to a cable box?
Asked by Amanda S - Sat Jan 16 03:06:50 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is technically possible, but we really don't like doing that. There is always signal loss through a splitter, even if there is only one TV running off that splitter. It makes any future problem that might occur harder to troubleshoot, as well. In addition to that, if that white cable you describe was installed by an amateur it may or may not be of good quality. It's safe to say that having an outlet professionally installed by your cable company would cost very little more than splitting that existing outlet.

What cable should I use to get the best picture with my projector?
Q. Would it be better to use a component cable (red, blue, green) or a VGA cable? My projector is 720P if that makes a difference.
Asked by CBD - Mon Apr 6 15:04:20 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I recommend either using a Component Video Cable (Green, Blue, Red). This cable can support up to 1080p, the highest High Definition resolution available. It would be the best choice for your 720p projector. The VGA cable won't support high definition, and it is recommended for computers.

Any help would be great!
Asked by Randy - Fri May 28 22:01:17 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They send most of the channels to your box encrypted. To decrypt them, the provider sends a message to your box (encrypted with a key for your box) with the keys needed to decrypt the stream keys for the channels and features you subscribe to; the stream keys used to decrypt the transmitted channel stream. If you unsubscribe from a channel or tier of channels or change your package, the provider just sends a new message with new keys for the packages, deleting the old keys (or sending unsubscribed channels as null keys). The Tier keys are updated monthly, or even more often, so that if the box does not get a de-auth message, that the keys in it become "stale" and won't work to decrypt key streams.

What is the best method to burying coax cable in ones backyard?
Q. I need to bury my cable service coax cable in my backyard. I have already battled with the cable company; I lost and I am moving forward. I anticipate I need to run the cable through PVC pipe, dig a 6 in deep trough, lay the pipe - with the cable inserted - and the waterproof the openings, but I want to be certain. I also want it to look clean and professional as I plan to lanscape later. Your collective assistance is greatly appreciated.
Asked by EBrowne - Mon Aug 14 11:21:48 2006 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. After calling "Miss Dig" you can purchase a flat spade shovel. Make sure the cable is safe for burying, eg. Underground Cable w/flooding compound inside the jacket. This will eliminate the need for the PVC pipe. And a couple of Gel splices if they are available. 1. Plan your path first. 2. Cutting the Sod (grass and root),take your shovel and at an angle make a slit in the sod about 6 inches deep while lifting the sod and every foot or so place the cable deep into the slit. Be careful not to kink or cut the cable. 3. Be sure all cable has been grounded. Any questions and you can contact me through yahoo answers.

They can send a signal from their computer to your specific receiver telling it what channels you pay to receive. The cables that are run from the street to your house are not coded in any way it is only the receiver that has a chip inside of it and they know exactly what receiver you have in your house. That is it.

Is there a way to boost the cable signal so I can have the digital cable running well and internet running at?
Q. I have spit the cable coming out of my wall. One goes to my digital box and the other goes to my cable modem. The cable modem is then hooked into a hub wireless router, which controls two computers. One directly and one wireless. Anyway, at times I notice my cable strength is so low that my cable modem either goes down or my digital cable picture is really choppy. I have to hook it directly, without the split, for it to work good. I figured this is because I am using all my signal strenght, however my roomates digital cable does not seem to be affected by any of this. Is there a way to boost the cable signal so I can have the digital cable running well and internet running at the same time?

A. your problem is not the strenght of the signal, you can split it as many as you want it will not affect the power. You just found the problem, when you make a direct connection , there's no problem, So just change the splitter and you'll see. I work on a daily basis that type of cable and Believe me your problem is the splitter. Go to Radio Shack or Wal-Mart and buy a new one.

This will allow you laptop to send video to your TV if it has a VGA port in the back. But now you need to handle sound. Use a stereo audio cable.
