parameters while troubleshooting? - correct answer Service authorization, received
signal quality, and return path operation.

a recorded program, it could be caused by... - correct answer the program is being
played on a second set-top-box on a whole house or multi-room digital video recording
(DVR) configuration.
, Quality of service (QOS), as measured by availability, describes the... - correct answer
Ratio of time that a system or service is available for use to total time.
To determine if objective network data measured by quality of service (QOS)
parameters match a customer's overall satisfaction level... - correct answer Cable
