[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1148160, member: 82144"] Picking up on your edit... I'm not the best with this, but I think "standard" signal strength is 0 dB. Your cable company would have a margin of error above and below that which they'd consider acceptable. AFAIK -15 dB is about the level where you could be justified in starting to have concerns. Again, I'm not the best with this, so I could be wrong. One thing to keep in mind: if your building contains a bunch of apartments, it may well have some kind of central splitter and/or distribution unit. My understanding is that the cable company would be responsible for the connection to that splitter, and the building owner/manager would be responsible for the connections from the splitter to the various outlets. You may have to go through the building owner to get the cable company to come out and check anything. [/QUOTE]
