Most importantly, AMC is unwatchable. This is just an HD converter box connected vis HDMI. Everything is tight. Do I just need a new box? »www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn0tQ-G-u74

Deadwalking @rcn.com	reply to ice This is a known issue and has nothing to do with rcn. It's AMC that is sending over compressed picture to cable companies: »AMC HD Quality

Also, older wiring can cause this too. The thing to check here is, what's different between both areas tested. Distance from where the main line is connected to the house, electrical wires around cable lines, etc... And this is my inner child....I'm sorry, have to say it, that youtube username is freaking awesome and hilarious! "footdickbubblehair"

It could be anything, is it JUST AMC that does this? Does it do it on other jacks in the house or just this one? -- Jason Nealis, V.P. Engineering and Operations

I think Comedy Central also skips every 10 seconds or so, and so does SpikeTV. Doesn't do it on any other jacks in the house that I'm aware of. I guess having someone come out is the only thing to do. -- Intel X3350 Quad@3.6GHZ Abit IP35 Pro 4096MB of Gskill 320GB+500GB SATA nVidia 8800GTS 512MB OC
