First off I have my phone, internet, and tv, thru my phone company... When ever my daughter uses her laptop it messes up all the tv's in the house. Kinda makes the screen boxie in spots, kinda like sun spots I guess. I have a linksys router recomended by phone company. I also have issues with the tv's freezing and black screening on me when the laptop isnt being used..

Any ideas, phone company has changed set top boxes a couple times, to no avail. They dont seem to know what the problem is or wont admit they are having problems with there system..

Fred, I have bad news for you (and for me, now) I have same issue here 2 miles down the road.

2 months ago I had Lonsdale telco install their package DSL TV and I have same issues, whenever somebody browse internet the TV quality takes a dump, same spots, freezes, etc. I think they will need to use a second fiber line to separate the delivery, and resolve the problem but you know....they never will. I am ready to pull the plug and remove the package.

Even the technician that installed the system noticed it, and was wondering about it. He unplugged the router and all was fine. Later on I tried other routers, and also I tried to use my router built in 4 port switch but I had no change. I think DirectTV or Dish are the only options for us at this point.

Heck I am ready to cancel my landline phone, all we use it is for internet DSL.

Sure sounds like your data(Internet) is using so much bandwidth that it is corrupting your signal quality. It sounds like it is not setup right or it will never work because you just don't have enough bandwidth for everything.

Time for both of you to start squeaking with hopes of getting some grease winkgrin

Good Luck

So if you get rid of it how will you have the internet?

I don't know what we have but I agree it seems to me they are delivering too much over a single line, or they don't have the correct hardware. Bandwidth is the issue.

I have a service tech coming wednesday, we'll see what he says it's the solution.

Unfortunately I will have to keep the system or I won't have any DSL. The local company here has it set up so nobody else can come in and compete, we have a small monopoly.

Val, let me know if they get things working for you, So I can start back on them again.

Yes it is, TV over IP with fiber.

There is a fiberoptic line coming to the house. From the modem, a cat5 brings signal inside the home and to a cheap 4 port switch. 1 port goes to DSL router (wireless or wired type) for internet access, the other 2 or 3 ports go to each TV receiver box set (hardwired), then to the TV. If I disconnect the wire input to the router, I (and Fred too) get clear HD picture on TV. As soon the router gets plugged back in the bandwidth used by PCs and phones drops TV quality to a crawl.

If it is IP QoS will do the trick, QoS simply acts as a traffic cop to hold back certain types of packets and let other pass. The only hitch is the devices have to tag their packets as to what type they are. And believe me some devices you think would don't. Most any router that they would have at their head end would be able to deal with QoS. Ask them about it.

If they have fiber to the house they should have enough bandwidth available to run a computer and tv and phone. If it is fiber it isn't dsl, it is regular digital like OC-3 or one of those.

Something isn't right. Not enough signal or a bad receiver or something. I will be interested in what the tech says.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
