Re: Now this... said by Anonymous:My cable service is not affected by storms. So what's your point? Well my Charter Cable TV is affected by Weather changes and Storms just cleanly knock it off the air/off the cable completely. Rain slightly and it goes snowy, cold and it has huge issues with the dreaded green blocks and frozen images/dropped audio on the Digital Channels that all returns when it gets too windy (hot or cold). In fact Charters been out here over 30 times in the last 5 Years after the "Digital Downgrade" and cannot fix it, blaming the wiring, so they charge to replace it, doesn't fix it, blaming the drop from the pole and charging to replace it, doesn't fix it, blaming their amp/splitter on the pole, replace it and it still doesn't fix it. Then they blame it on the aerial lines in the immediate neighborhood and that they were due to upgrading. After waiting 18 months, they finally finish my area (that was 3 Years ago), and it still didn't fix it. Then they have come out and said the prior tech didn't ground the system and they charge to fix that and it is still not fixed. Next time they blamed the last tech for not making the cable end properly? (too short of a center wire) and they charge to cut each cable in the house, replace the cables in the basement and replace all the ends all the way out side up to the box on the telephone pole (we only have 2 TVs with one Digital STB by Motorolla - replaced 5 times, 2 Way Splitter in the basement, no Internet from them) and that still does not fix it. On 4 occasions they have blamed the problems on corrosion at the connector where the drop wire comes from and at no time has their working on the pole have they ever fixed it.
The only thing Charter delivers reliably is their $%@&#!g bill. Your bill, delivered, not Your World, delivered, but you TV signal now digitized with green block artifacts, broken audio/dropped out audio and frozen black/green screens 60% to 80% of the time.
I hope Charter bites the big Chapter 7 with no reorganization by them, but the needed Fire Sale on everything they have.
