| [AZ] Is it SB4100's time to go?
Hello all, newbie here. Sorry if this is an old item for most of you. I do not replace technology unless I have to.
Have been having intermittent drops the past 3 weeks or so. This morning I jump on-line and within 30 minutes 5-6 dropped connections. Watching all lights except power go off. Get tech on the phone, tells me about the SB4100 being a retired device (thanks for letting me know after several calls). Funny how the phone line went dead too, and the TV Cable tech guy tells me last week that my TV set is the cause for the lousy local channel ghosting problem.
Anyway- any suggestions to dump the old cm and buy locally or on internet their recommended brands? Or brands/models to stay away from?

as for the ghosting that is a signal level issue. if you have RG59[skinny cable], chuck that and replace it with RG6[thicker cable]

| Circuit City: $79.99-$20 MIR=$59.99
WalMart: $53.88 (no rebate, may be slightly higher in store)
Best Buy: $79.99
CompUSA: $79.99
Most of these stores will pricematch (some even with a 10% of the difference credit.) Circuit City will normally only consider their after rebate price, meaning you still have to give them more money in store, but risking the rebate won't make it's way back to you. |
