Unlike the telephone company, the cable operator is responsible for the
wiring inside your house. They may not have installed it, but they are the
ones who are legally responsible for preventing or correcting any harmful
interference from their system. If you have poor reception due to damaged or
defective wiring, it is in the cable operator¹s interest to fix the problem.
Not only do they make the subscriber happy, they also avoid possible system
leakage from the wiring on the customer¹s premises.
