Can Comcast increase the signal level coming in easily? Or would I be better off just getting an amp and installing it myself?
Not sure if Comcast will do it, but I am with Cox and was having some signal issues. They came out and tested the outlets in question. The tech then installed an amplifier that were specifically for the rooms where we were having issues. Since then, no issues. And best of all, no charge.
Good luck!
Ditto with Comcast a few years ago, although I think the amplifier works on my whole system. They also changed some of the cables and connections under the house, but I'm probably cuter than you are.
At one point there were four Comcast trucks clogging my little dead end street, with Comcast guys swarming all over. Is your hair white, and do you look like everybody's favorite grama? If not, they will probably charge only for the amplifier itself. Initially, we'd moved the TV with the digital box from one end of the house to the other, and it didn't work properly. The service call to see why it wasn't working properly was free, and that's when they decided there were other problems in the system and that an amp was needed. Call and see what they say.
