Last time I called them they had no idea what they were talking about and could not help us with a seemingly simple billing issue. So I guess the first thing to do is properly crimp all the cables. Also, I had never heard of RG8, only RG6, is it worth running RG8? |
Yea RG6.
The extra outlets arent a big deal. Most cable installers dont check it and if they do you can just say that the last installer did it for you. Most cable installers arent the brightest or really don't care that much so it shouldnt be an issue. They try to focus more on actually finding people who are stealing service, and they arent even very good at finding that.
I would definently recommend properly crimping the cables. That is probably the easist way to increase your signal strength
