im using a toshiba modem - i have a RCA i keep for back up but lost the power plug for it so that sucks ! anyway tomorrow im going try and get the guy to swap it out . the toshiba is mine so i know no hope if its the problem .

Usually means a weak signal unless you have a bad modem (90% of the time it's a weak signal). Your modem needs a LOT more signal than your cable box.

Did they come out and wire it or you do it yourself? They need to come out and put a special splitter outside and run a dedicated cable to your modem. The special splitter sends more of the signal to the modem than any of the TVs.

i agree with you 100 % on need to run a special splitter and line !

they redid -the cable lines to my modem - cut out a ton of cable ! also replaced a bunch of connectors inline -i will know in a bit if that repair the problem or just was a ban-aid !

good luck on it man!

How the band aid test go?
