[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 683555, member: 60724"] Kefguy, Most digital cable boxes have two modes and can receive the analog as well digital channels. It's possible that the channels that are having issue with are actually analog channels and susceptible to the interference you describe. I have never heard of OTA signals being picked-up by the cable in the house and interfering with analog cable signals...coax is shielded very well. And even if that did happen I wouldn't expect the interference to be such that the OTA channels and the cable channels affected were the same....they are at very different frequencies. Kefguy, I would more likely suspect that channels 4 and 7 are "snowy" because of a problem at your cable company's headend, and that they are being passed on to you with interference. Also, some of the lower channels are more susceptible to interference. It is possible that the cable company is "performing upgrades in your area" and you are on a temporarily degraded service level. Have you called the cable company to see if others are complaining about the same channels? TJR [/QUOTE]
