I've held back on this subject for a while , but cannot any longer. Having maintained a 7 channel cable distributuion system for Syracuse University for several years, I can state that it is not impossible to maintain consistant audio and video levels between channels on a cable system. It all has to do with whether or not the engineering and infrastructure be kept to a proper level of support. Modulation , deviation and RF levels need to be made consistant with proper splitters, trunk amps, hardline and drop cables properly maintained. And none of this hardware lasts forever. My two bits. BH When it isn't, everything goes to hades. Period. >>> [log in to unmask] 7/6/2006 7:14 PM >>> well, they'll take NTSC out of my cold dead hands, so I'll be adjusting the volume for the foreseeable. Digital cable is the biggest ripoff going. Who wants 10 channels of each already thinly-programmed cable "network"? Also, every system around here (our own Suscom -- Suxcom -- and Cablevision in Westchester and Time Warner in Manhattan) have awful looking pictures coming out of those digi-boxes. Pixellation, off-color, digital dropouts, etc. No thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard L.
