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.

Does a cable company really have to go underneath a mobile home to install cable?
Q. I just bought a 07 double wide mobile home. I am about to get Comcast cable, and am wondering if they have to go underneath the trailer to install the cable? My home is pre-wired for cable. Also, I have a two coax cable wall plates. If I connect my TV to that wall plate, should I be able to get my local channels or do I have to have Comcast come out? Last Question, we have wall paneling, is that sturdy enough to mount a flat screen television?

A. they should not have to go under if they can get access to where your cable goes into the trailer. you no longer can get antaglog channels it is all digital now so you wont get anything but static. no the panelling will not hold up at flat screen but if you can secure it to the studs (more then one )like say put the bracket so it secures to 2 or more studs and in approx 4 locations it should be ok

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.

Asked by hava - Fri May 9 06:09:39 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Whether the signal is HD or Standard it should not matter. The difference is in the box and the cables connected between the box and your TV. The cables you have should be waterproof regardless of Standard or HD. Cables that let water in will cause increased signal loss when it rains. Waterproof cables can make your system less susceptible to problems when it is raining.

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.

How could I repair a broken cable on my laptop charger?
Q. The cable is broken between the charger box and jack (into laptop) The cable is very similar to coaxial cable or shealded cable. I cut in to accidentally when moving my car seat, the charger happened to be under the seat and laying in the runner which cut the cable. Im hoping there is a connector available to join this type of cable available. as far as I am aware the sheilding acts as a conductor i.e. the 2nd wire, there seems to be only a single insulated wire in the centre.

Get a sharp knife and trim back the cable covering and the sheathing an re-solder or tape them. I wouldn't worry about the shielding , just make sure no of the joints come in contact with it. You may get a hum or something, see if moving the cable to a different spot helps. Just found this video- same idea.

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.

A. Some monitors support that type of cable without a converter. Tell us what monitor you have so we have a starting point for an answer. EDIT: Regarding Ross' answer, there are adapters for composite video to VGA (see link), but since we don't know what monitor the questioner has we can't say if it would work. For example, there are digital only monitors (HDMI or DVI single input) out there that wouldn't support this setup. Going back to my comment, there are also many monitors with built in composite input, so the question of an adapter would be moot. The only way to answer this question intelligently is if the questioner tells us what monitor he/she has.

How does the cable company have access to your home?
Q. I understand that if you have to have something fixed in your home, the cable company accesses your home from their office. How do the installers make this possible? Do they program the cable with a code, or what? How do they control your home from their office?

A. They don't have access to your home. The only thing they can access from their office is a digital or hd receiver. 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.
