25 of the "Expanded Basic" channels are not working, and we would like
to get the "Digital Basic" if we can get them to fix it. My attempts at
finding more authoritative info about Metrocast have not been as
frustrating as trying to get someone at Metrocast who understands what
CCI is...  To escalate the issue they are requiring a tech come out and
test for filters and signal strength.  This afternoon's visit will
hopefully lead to a resolution of the issue.

I modified the original script a bit to not include the screen shots,
include CCI and signal strength, output an html file with a table and a
csv file. I hope that soon I will be able to post better results for the
CCI.  Results and script are posted at http://axs.org/Metrocast/:
script: cci+ss_scan
scans: Metrocast_Channel_Scan.html, cci-signal.csv and
hdhomerun_config_scan_output.txt


Thanks,
