    Digital signal "boxes" are typical of a degraded or overdriven digital signal.

    Are you using a digital set top box for your digital cable?

    What is the length of your cable run?

    Are you on a "shared" cable TV plant? Apartment, flats, etc. Adding a drop to an existing marginal cable plant can adversely affect the signal quality. I have recently experienced this at my apartment complex and had to move my cable modem and digital cable amplifier to various points along my inside wiring until I found the best placement.

    OK, if it's not using a set top box then it MIGHT NOT be a digital signal.

    Are you in the US? If so, who is your cable provider?

    There is also the possibility that your TV tuner (internal) is having a problem.

    You might try calling the cable company saying that your reception is crappy, especially if you can pinpoint a time that this started, but they will usually push it back saying that it's your TV.

    It's kinda hard to prove unless you have a second TV that you can connect at the same time and observe what happens.
