Hello everyone! This is my first post on DIY Forums...I only recently discovered all of you and this is amazing.
Anyways - I'm trying to help my mom upgrade her Comcast service to include digital TV, Internet, and Phone. The serviceman said that the quality of the signal running to the cable outlets was very poor. We tried to locate the junction box or split point where the origin line branches out but there doesn't seem to be one. We identified the source line that runs from outside but it seems to run into the attic over the garage and it disappears above the master bedroom. But there is no panel or access to the cable that we can locate. The house is a townhome, relatively newer construction (she's been here for 7 years and is the first to occupy), but I get the feeling that the contractor was less than exemplary.
There are no shared boxes (like in an apt setting). Is it possible that the contractor just split the coaxial cable as he went along and then buried them in the walls??? Ugh.
Thoughts on this? Any solutions that don't involve fishing through the walls? Maybe a signal booster?
Sorry for the lengthy post...and any insight is GREATLY appreciated.
Best.
