It turns out the cable is fine - the problem was caused by the faceplates used --

With these removed the signal goes back to what it was.

The above faceplates were "unscreened" - would "screened" ones make a difference if I could source any?

I'm sure they would - surely we don't all have coax cable pinned to the skirting boards etc.

Thanks again.

gazbiggs was only being honest with you, don't take it to heart about me saying, you'd knackered it,(some people are a bit to touchy on these forums).

Basically do not use any form of face plate with the NTL installation or sattelite connectors, you need to have NTL do the job, they will use the correct equipment needed for the job. This will stop the problems you will experience by using the improper equipment.

Like i said previousely, by the time you have paid out it would have been more beneficial to get NTL to do the job.

Hope you find my comments construtive and helpful, have a nice evening now.
