Morning Seph,

Happy New Year to you and everyone else on CF.

Thanks for the advice again. The VM Forum Team did ask me to post back on there following receipt of the new SH so I'll tell them what I did on here and advise everything appears well at present (currently 2 days 12hrs and a bit up time!!!) other than the power levels being slightly high and let them check remotely and see what they think. If they don't believe an engineer is necessary might look to buy a 10dB FPA on ebay. I think it's worth waiting for them to check as they might need to check the street cabinet as you advise.

With regards to the FPA's, I have actually got another 6dB one that an engineer left me a couple of years ago when I had a fault with my TV service and he checked my BB at the same time and said I no longer needed it after what he'd done but left it with me just in case. Would this be any good at reducing my power levels (i.e. does 2 x 6 dB make 12dB) or would having two 6dB ones not be any different from the one? Not sure how they work or even if you can have 2 on a line.

Cheers
