Hi,
The background to this question is that my wife and I are renting a room out of a larger house. On the owner’s side he has installed a set-top box for viewing some channels in HD and has broadband internet as well as Comcast digital voice phone service.
I used to run and hook-up cable myself, so I see no fault in the way the cable is "T"ed off. The modem is on a dedicated leg away from the cable so it can send and receive signal just fine. There is also a powered amp involved, but signals are at acceptable levels for all runs of coax.
What I’m here for is to ask if anyone has had a situation where the audio from one channel is heard in a manner similar to feedback in the audio of the channel you are watching?
It’s not very loud, but say you are watching a drama on TV and two people are talking… so that dramatic pause happens where there is only silence … it’s at th-at moment you start hearing William Shatner try to save someone money on a f***** hotel room… “mamby-pamby… cupcake… mama’s-boy”… >sigh<
Only 2 channels do this with our cable, 1 channel is within 2 channels of the offending audio. The other channel I have not yet found which channel it is that projects it’s audio onto it.
What would be the most likely reason for such a phenomenon? What can be done- besides calling my cable company? I’m already that far. Thanks in advance.
