I have a different explanation for the dropped internet packets.   
      
   The white cable connecting the splitter to the cable modem was slightly loose   
   on the splitter side.   
      
   I attached it firmly.   
      
   I did notice tv signal became a bit worse on snowy channel but that might be   
   by chance it fluctuates a bit.   
      
   The loose cable modem cable does not explain the bad tv signal on one channel,   
   so there may be something to it.   
      
   I remain a bit skeptical though. Perhaps they known something I don't.   
      
   I think either their encoding changed slightly or some external device is at   
   cause, but soon I will known the thruth :)   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck.
