irregularjoe Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I recently had DirecTV installed.They used a 4X2 switch and added a new line from the oudoor interface thru the attic and down a wall to provide a new Coax jack.One of the DTV signals cables (I have two) is used for both DirecTV and Cox High Speed internet.I had problems with the internet from day one of the DTV insatall.Irronically there was also a 3 day meltdown with Cox HSI durring the same period Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I would say connections first, this would be the "human error" problem.Had DishNetwork installed here. Two weeks of problems, countless tech. One checked the connections...cut all connections from coax made new ones no more problem.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irregularjoe Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 That's what I thinking too.Yesterday I hooked the modem back up to the old cable and temporarily ran it down the hall.No problems since.I WAS always getting a good DTV signal with the new cable, just the HSI portion was a problem. If I had a bad connection or cable wouldn't the DTV signal be affected along with internet? I know they are different frequencies, but it seems strange that one would be OK and the other, not.
