That shouldn't be I also have a 211 and I record back to back programs all the time!

Take a look at the guide data for a week or more and see what's on.

This is just the reality of how it is built as we discuss it. To help the OP we need to relate things to the present. Going forward I can agree with you on some things but that is yet to be. What the future will bring we will have to wait and see.

NO. At this time most cable systems are below 1Ghz and typically to out at about 870mhz. To go above that 1Ghz frequency it will take a fairly significant modification to the entire cable plant from the head end to your home, most passive devices in line at this time are only rated to 1Ghz.

You are pushing your cable modem somewhere near its limit, your upstream reads 54dbmv, in actuallity the modem can do a little more but the reading won't go above 54. So again everytime you add a device (amp, larger splitter etc) you are asking your modem to work harder, so being near the edge...

To the OP from the readings that you gave for the modem when you got it to work, your issue is the return your modem is about maxed at at 54dbmv (yes you are locked) but when you add a larger splitter or an amp that does not amplify the return signal needs to work harder to overcome the...

Do you still have the old amp? If so you could try putting it back in line and trying the modem test. The new one while boosting the forward (D/S) signal strength is also lowering the Return (U/S) signal that the modem needs to send info back to the CMTS. You need an amp that has either an...

To the OP getting tech support is a good idea but if you want to try something yourself I would do the following. Put the 2 way back in line and if your modem is working okay type in 192.168.100.1 into your browser you should get the diagnostic screen for the modem. Look for the UP and...

I don't know what type of Cable boxes the OP has but keep in mind that most are bi-directional this is what allows you to have Video on Demand or PPV items. Today most cable systems are below 900mhz and I truly don't expect them to go much higher.

As stated I would take the feed into your house and use a 2 way splitter and use one leg to feed the cable modem and the other for all else. A higher frequency rated splitter is not needed. The problem you are seeing is most likely due to the Upstream levels needed to complete the 2 way...

Commodore 64 I will date myself and say that my first was actually a Timex Sinclair, so my Commodore 64 with the tape drive was a step up!!http://www.satelliteguys.us/images/smilies/cool.gif

I still have my original with the cassette drive.

I like it it seems to be getting better.

Just call they should allow you to get out of it.

Same here!!
