Another thing to check is the wiring to the house. If this is a cable company, it is likely that the cable to the cable modem splits off to the TV(s). Make sure there are not any unterminated co-ax cable which used to go to a TV. Make sure the cable outside the house is not damaged. The cable company can test for bad cable at your location. They may charge for this. You could get a length of co-ax and swap it in in various places to see if the problems go away.
