I'm all for the increased bandwidth that digital cable service allows. On-Demand, high-speed internet, more channels, etc. However, I'm getting really tired of the dropped audio and jumpy, artifacted picture. It's gotten a lot worse recently and it's actually starting to disrupt whatever show I'm watching at the time.
Anyone think it could be related to the VOIP line? It doesn't seem to be related to when I'm using the line, and the VOIP should only take a piece of the internet bandwidth anyways. My internet service doesn't seem much slower, so that makes me think it's just the TV signal.

Maybe it's the snowstorm?

Maybe. It's worse tonight, but it's been getting progressively crappier before tonight.

Having a friend out here who works for Comcast, I'd bet his answer would be that its the cable system. They try to compress stuff as much as is (or isn't) possible.

I think it's the cable. That same exact thing used to happen to my sisters cable all the time and she didn't even have internet.
