Re: New drop installed, now what?
Since you have ordered new cable and splitters, I'll assume you're going to go forward with rewiring some of your outlets.
If you don't have the proper tools to prepare the cable for fittings and properly attach the fittings, you may do yourself more harm than good. Make sure your connections are tight when you connect your ouetlets to your splitter.
It's definatelly preferred that your RG59 outlets be replaced with RG6, but whether or not you'll see an improvement depends on wheather or not you have a problem to start with. Your digital cable box would probably appreciate having a new RG6 outlet, but you may notice no difference on your standard cable ready TVs.
The signal strength won't change that much on your analog channels, but the RG6 will probably have better shielding to block out ingress.
In the future, stop a TWC tech when you see one and they'll probably be happy to give you cable and splitters if you want to run it yourself.
It looks like the new drop should have taken care of your problem. Your signal strength, SNR, and return signal are all fine. |
