So tech came by, fiddled with some of the connections in the main box, and replaced some connectors. Said this was the 3rd house in our community he visited today, which was very abnormal especially since we live in a pretty small community.
Anyways he ran a line test or whatnot, and the signal strength is fine but apparently there is significant signal loss. So much so that if i wanted to upgrade to HDTV i wouldn't be able to. So he basically said they needed to replace the line, however, due to our location on our street he can't put in a temporary line and we won't likely be able to get a new one buried until summer 2010.
