I was having problem getting a few channels on my cable feed here in the UK.
Called a tech support guy out. He fiddled with the cables, and then told me that some of the cables are transmitted down the screen of the coax cable. The rest are transmitted down the core.
Seriously? I tried to explain to the guy how coax cable actually works - but to no avail......needless to say, they traced the problem back to their roadside connection point.
