It does have a tendency to freeze when using the EPG, needing a reboot to clear, but otherwise the picture is fine.

The return power is exactly that, the power your STB is sending back to its UBR. The return power is not really a good estimate of what your forward path levels are. You would need to measure them with a suitable level meter really.
Are you getting this info from the Engineering menus ( I don't really get to play with Bromley boxes)? If so then :-

Id be looking at what the box thinks of the level. From memory I cant remember if the Bromley box gives a SNR value but that would be a better guide than return power.
By the way mate, thats a crap coloured rose. Mines far better. From the right side o'pennines.
