Engineer check the signal, both outside and inside flat. I didi actually see with my eyes that the singlen strength is ok outside and not inside.
Cable from the outside the flat to the back of the box must be no more then 5 meters long.
Engineer actually showed me that NTL cable has a kind of hard "core" in it, while coax does not.
He mentioned that Maplin does not seel that.
The funny bit is that the NTL guy who came and check when I companined suggested I should ask some NTL engineer I see on the road to sell me some.
Do you know any NTL installation engineer in London.
Thank you all a lot.

Perhaps there are some poor terminations on the internal cables but an engineer can move the cable to a stronger signal feed at the green box near the house and check all other terminations are good, you are in a flat, so the cable run from outside to the TV can't be that long.
When did this engineer turn up, Friday PM?
