You guys couldn't have picked a better time to bring this subject up. I was having trouble with my reception as well.

The cable guy DID put an amplifier on our line because he said we were at the end of the line and getting too weak a signal. He gave me a wink and said, "I'm not really supposed to do this, but..." and did it anyway. It's a Reverse Path amp. I imagine that allows our cable modem to send signals as well.
