24 downstream channels?
 
I just connected my new SH3 after being "pushed" from the Gamer 200 to the VIVID 300 product and when I look at the DS channels I have got 24 of them.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Also the power level seem to be a big high?

My power levels on my 24 channels range from as low as 6 DbMv to 12.8 DbMv. The mean and mode are about 10. The SNR is about 40.

Everything functions well, except that I have a noisy TBB graph.

Olisun those power levels are fine. Anything up to +7 is within optimum spec.

Out of interest is there a reason why some people have 24 downstream channels and some have 16 I have 16 and iam on vivid 350 here

Would guess that it's down to whether 24 downstream channels are needed to cope with the load on the network. If 16 are sufficient, then VM don't need to add more capacity by going to 24, if it's not needed. It's there as an option though.

I'm on VIVID 300/350 and have 20 downstream channels, along with 4 upstream. The latter being something not seen as much I think network wide.

Ive got 24 down and 4 up here in Swansea.

Re: 24 downstream channels?
 
Just woke up and my thinkbroadband monitor went full red so I checked the IP and it changed along with me going from 20 to 24 down and now on 3 up 1 64 1 32 1 16.

Still on 8 downstream channels in my area. I guess I'm in the slums/chavs part of the VM network...

Still on 24 Down, 2 Up Here.

I doubt it. Are you using a shub2?

isn't it +10

My 24 channel range (slope) goes from +1.2 to +10.8, even after a cable re pull due to my TV signal it hasnt changed it, also had 2 engineers saying those levels are not an issue, and i get my full speed of over 150mbit all the time, so i think you maybe right.
