I've been arguing with Comcast for months about three channels that are missing from my supposed lineup (41, 49 and 58). They are all there on my digital receiver, but just snow on sets that are direct-connected. My first thought was that they had been either moved or changed to a different rate tier. These channels are also still included in their on-line TV guide information in the original places.

They are trying to tell me that my inside wiring must be causing this. I would think that a wiring fault would cause a lot more trouble than just a few missing channels. All of my wiring is home run RG6 with SNS connectors, and I'm using a Channel Plus 3025 distribution amplifier.

Is it really possible that a wiring fault can actually notch out channels?
