I just reread this whole thread. We sure as hell outputted a hell of a lot of hifalutin technical knowledge trying to solve a problem as old as the hills: too damn much rain in the wrong place!
From Post 18: It was an Adelphia system! That just points out that we should savor every stupid idiotic thing we run across, because some day we will reminisce and say "2012 -- wow, the good old days!"

might want to check your resources on a cable network you want 0 at the tv being the best with a tolerance of + or - 1 to 2 db
I've designed antenna systems, always shooting for an absolute minimum of 0 dB at the TV, as that gave complete quieting of an analog system, but I usually presented +10 and never had a problem.
Cable boxes don't work quite the same, of course, but there's no way they could work properly over only that tight of a signal range.
And isn't it odd that we get pissed off at newbies when they dredge up old threads, when really we should be irritated with ourselves when we join in without noticing how old they are!
