The problem was solved and it was entirely the fault of the original, shoddy Time Warner installation. That was determined early on in the process but they were incapable of sending the right people to fix it. There is no inside wiring, from the backyard it goes straight over the roof into our front window and into the cable box. And since we live in Brooklyn, the tap being two doors down means it's about 50 feet away from us. Since the buildings are all attached, there is no access to the tap without going through someone's first-floor apartment. It was badly done from the beginning and despite a very nice contractor who solved the problem, Time Warner Cable remains on my "Dead to Me" list.

It is possible that if the wiring is leaking signal they could disconnect service completely until the owner fixes the wiring If your line is going thru two neighbors property then that is not a proper install. It is possible you should not have been served to begin with as you may be too far from the tap. The company may need to extend the plant within 250' of your home to provide best service. If you live on a larger tract of private property and there is no easement from the government roads then the cost may be passed on to you to have the plant extended.

I believe someone else in my building just got some sort of cable service or some technician decided to splice in to my line.. either way, the tech is coming out tomorrow... and I'm probably in for a few weeks of pain... Everything had been fine for the last 6 months though.. go figure.. it seems that they have a bandwidth problem...

Neither Fox nor Time Warner Cable is in a position to let that happen. We don't get Fox in HD, but that's because our signal is so weak. That seems unlikely.
