[ale] [OT] Comcast

[Robert Coggins]

Thanks to all who replied.  Turned out to be a cable issue.  Comcast 
came out this morning and replaced a bunch of cable for me and all is 
well again.

The cable was running through my attic.  I believe the heat build up in 
the attic caused the signal degradation during the day.

Thanks again!
