Dab,

I'd be curious if you would share the measurement your cable provider says will avoid the CBS audio cutout. I don't watch much CBS programming so I have not gone through the effort with my cable provider; its just a hassle to be home when they will make an appointment. However, if I had the measurement that would avoid the problem they may be able to do it outside my house versus needing to come inside. Let us know how it turns out.
