Verizon is supposed to come out next week, but I thought I would toss this up and see if anyone had seen it before.
Several weeks ago, certain channels, mostly HD, started getting a bit static-y. Mostly horizontal lines and square boxes, but it ranges from a few lines to a lot of lines to complete blackout depending on the channel. I'd say 15-ish channels that I watch semi-regularly are affected, all HD. Called Verizon last night and they did stuff from their end but couldn't fix the problem.
The setup is that the incoming line comes to my house into the garage where there is a FIOS control box. From there, coax is run approximately 60 feet to the back of my house where it comes into a wall in my den/living area by way of coax plug. From there, it goes directly into my DVR. My DVR hooks into my TV via HDMI. Until several weeks ago (early May, I'd say) everything worked fine.
Could this be an outside coax cable issue? Plug issue? Or is it more than likely a piece of their equipment? They're going to charge me for anything that isn't their equipment. I don't mind going and getting a bunch of coax and re-running it. I'll of course start with the inside coax first. Could there be a problem with the plug?
Incidentally, my internet doesn't seem to have any issues that I know of. I believe the wire is run from the garage device separately to a bedroom in my house.
