Being a custom installer (which I believe Kabster is too), I know exactly why kabster dislikes cable so much. We, usually have nothing but problems with it! It has extremely poor signal very frequently, and 99% of cable installers could care less about the quality of their work...They run the coax along baseboards and drill right out in the most noticeable places. We custom guys take pride in our work to make sure you don't see any wires, and if you do see them, they are all dressed neatly with all cable ties evenly spaced and facing the same way. Nothing is worse than a patch panel that has had hours of work put into it that has been messed with buy a cable guy or telephone company guy. I got called to a site once because the local phone company (Verizon) cut all the wires to a house with 4 lines and 24 extensions, and couldn't figure out what went where. CableguyOK could verywell be that "1%" that cares so this isn't any type of attack on him, I just know where Kabster comes from.
