Hi All,
Just received an angry email from tenant last night. Apparently the coax cable outlet in the master bedroom went out (how does that even happen??), and they are asking that we get an electrician to fix it. I plan on doing what's right and calling an electrician, but for my own knowledge is this something that HAS to be fixed? I don't really recall my lease mentioning the usability of electrical outlets like coax cable so I feel like this is a grey area.
That all being said, does anyone know of a good electrical person that isn't too expensive in the Madison, WI area that would be able to help out? I'm assuming we'll need to rewire a new coax line down into the basement. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

A bad outlet in one room a total outage does not make unless that's the only outlet in the house. Inconvenient, maybe, but not deserving an angry email.
To the OP. Pull the cover off and just check the connector on the back. If it isn't tight, this could be the cause of the issue. Beyond that I would definitely be talking to the cable company. They will normally track this stuff down. But there is probably a splitter somewhere and the connection could be bad there or even the splitter itself has gone bad.
