really weird coaxial cable jack problem...
just sharing cuz this is pretty fucked up and wondering if ANYONE has had anything like this happen to them.
for the past week my cable has been really shitty in one of the upstairs bedrooms. its been causing the cable tv to just cut out completely as well as obviously the internet connection. i didnt pay any attention to it for the first few days cuz i figured my cable company was just upgrading something. no biggie. but it hasnt stopped. when it happened today, i noticed the cable tv downstairs was still working, so i checked the coaxial connection upstairs on the wall jack and the coaxial jack and the male part of the cable were both REALLY hot. i of course unplugged it, and it cooled down, and i replaced the cable, but the tv signal still isnt as good as it once was before this problem arose, so im sure itll heat up again, as its probably been doing for the past week. i called the cable company and they are sending someone out soon.
but wtf... anyone EVER heard of a coaxial cable heating up like that? its fucking freaky.
