    Can you explain how the filter is connected in your coax network? [/quote]

    The incoming cable line goes to a splitter.  I installed the filter between the cable and the splitter.  FWIW this is the main line in which also contains my internet service. 

    [quote=Aaron Ledger] Also, for a channel that you are experiencing an issue with, can you monitor the signal level and signal-to-noise both with and without the filter applied to see if you can notice the difference in that reagrd? What frequncy (or frequency range) is the channel you are seeing troubles with? [/quote]

    I have not narrowed that down.  If I do experience the pixellation or dropouts what is the easiest way to monitor signal level and signal to noise?  I will try to get the information.

    [quote=Aaron Ledger]Are you sure that the filter is the cause? Was the issue happening so frequently that you can tell with certainty that removing the filter immediately solved the issue or could it be intermittent such that you may need to wait some amount of time to determine the effect?[/quote] I am not sure.  I think I am seeing a mixture of problems related to the cable signal and my video driver.

    Speaking of video drivers.  I am running an AMD HD5670 video card.  I also recently updated the driver.  I do see something routinely that I once traced to an adjustment in CCC.  While watching the news they have a ticker strip scrolling at the bottom.  I am getting periodic glitches in that strip.  I once was playing witht the CCC adjust something like “enforce smooth playback”.  When unchecked I got the glitches.  When checked I did not.  That adjustment is currently checked, but I am still getting the glitches.

    I am sorry to bother you guys with all this, but my MC just has not been right since I moved here.  Is there a step by step troubleshooting guide for the Ceton card?  It might help me identify the problem.
