As far as interference is concerned -- I had a visit a while back -- several times -- from the good ole cable guy -- but I wasn't around for either visit. First appearance was due to one of the lines having static for no apparent reason. So he checked the signal on the outside to see the issue -- ended up disabling one of the lines. Left a message to call them back -- as there was some type of issue in the lines. They came back -- and the issue ended up being One of the TV's -- which I've used for years -- was sending some bad feedback in the system -- enough that they could detect it from the office. Suffice to say they put a filter on that one line and all was well.

This was after they saw the Mess that is my Splitters -- several for the PC's and others for lines going to and from the other floors...

No comments were made as far as the Spaghetti...

*I* thought he was going to start disconnecting all my stuff -- that can be slightly irritating when one is not able to either talk to the tech nor Be there at the time... "Don't touch my stuff..!!"

But all ended up fine.

Most if not all the tech's I've dealt with actually Do have a clue -- and several are computer guys anyway -- so luckily in my area they hire people who actually know something.
