so anyone with the same problem should call ntl (it's not that painful) and an engineer should replace the connector.
by connector i mean the socket were the coax lead goes into before being connected to the set top box. like this:

If you read the previous posts, this probably will work until the weather changes again. The "connector" he replaced is an attenuator and it is there to filter out the noise from the signal.
The tradeoff from this is that it also filters out some of the signal.
