About an hour after he left, his assistant showed up. Took me out in the yard and showed me where the "drop" - the line from the pole to the house - had six splices in it and was burning1 The cause of my problems. Couldn't draw enough power to run a one person household in a three bedroom house. They told me how to talk to Entergy, how to make sure they completely changed out my hardware which appeared to be original to the midcentury houses construction. Invaluable advice. I'd had Entergy out several times and nothing was done! So I live like a normal person again and god bless Mr Bryant! My niece and grandchild were afraid of this house, they thought the flashing lights were ghosts. Nobody should live like that and I'm wondering why none of the other guys thought to look at the power supply to the house. He'll be doing the wiring on my new house when it's built.

TV Antenna questions, answered by experts
Coax cable connects to your television, modem, or cable box. Look for a female coax connection on these devices. Your coax cable will connect to any of these. The other end of the wire runs to the service connection coming into the house.
Yes, in general, raising your TV antenna will improve your reception. Besides raising the location of your antenna, you should try putting it by a window. In fact, you can have the same antenna but get double the channels or more if it's in the best location. The highest spot to put a TV antenna will be on your roof, and the tallest type of outdoor antenna is a tower.
DIY is possible for minor adjustments, but professionals ensure proper alignment and signal strength.
The shorter the coaxial cable, the better. The further you run the cable, the more signal loss you'll experience. At 50 feet, you'll see significant signal loss, and by 100 feet, you'll experience at least a 30% drop in signal strength.
The length of coax cable can affect the signal. Coax cables and their connectors all have a small amount of electrical resistance, which means that the longer the cable and more connectors in the system, the weaker the signal strength. In most homes, the signal loss is tiny, but systems with coax cable lengths over 100 feet will likely experience signal troubles.
