    That's a fact Mainstreet!!! It also doesn't hurt to have the right tool for the job. Have all the tools to finish a basement and wood working tools, but not one associated with coax. Thanks for the advice... My main goal now is to get rid of some of the upconversion softness associated...

    I'm gonna give it a shot...I'm still at a loss since the tech that installed the dish used RG6 in the same runs as RG59, so doesn't seem like a compatability issue. Like you said, could have been a damage thing to since I pulled the coax back through some pretty tough spots...
