BlankThis is an email that I sent to tech services at Time =
Warner/RoadRunner regarding poor monitor reception with a TV card into =
my Winfast 2000XP deluxe card.
*************************************************************************=

Other TV cables within home have a TW booster. RR line to computer is =
not on the booster circuit, but I have a TV, VCR and a TV card [within =
the computer] on the same line that RR enters the computer area.
Due to bad reception on the lower channels, including #5, you man came =
out and replaced a couple of splitters, replaced some short cable runs =
of RG59 with RG 6. He did all he could. He recommended a seprate RR =
cable run from the TV run to the computer area. I would assume this line =
would have a signal booster also. [???Even if it's going into the TV =
card on the computer??]
To test this, I am thinking of taking an unused cable connection that is =
on the other household TV circuit with the booster to the TV card to see =
if this improves the reception on the monitor on the computer with the =
TV card.f
Will this cause a problem as I would like to determine if a separate =
line to the TV, VCR and TV card in the computer area is the answer =
before going to rewiring expense?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
