Yeah, that's what it points to, but I have to spend about an hour
crawling through my attic to rerun the cable, so I figured I'd ask here

It's also weird that it would happen at changeover; it is possible that
the cable was just flaky enough that handling it broke it...
Anyone know of a way to get a signal strength meter cheap?
