The Tivo signal stats are not totally reliable/accurate - nor to a certain lesser extent is the BB Shub!

You can't accurately get RxMer/SNR/FEC data on the upstream. So unless you have VM sourced "splitter" and "patch" cable then you're totally reliant on someone like QAS pointing you to the correct vendor source/part!
The engineer will have a pad/JDSU 1250 handheld DOCSIS metering and access to RedTools etc. Which provided he's got a calibrated meter with correct Area code configuration will be a lot more accurate for both downstream/upstream assessment.

That said when you're beta testing multiple firmware/hardware on both BB and Tivo some of us have to employ cascaded splitters/patch cables ourselves! (fortunately I'm close enough to streetcab and set the tap so I can just about run 2 SuperHubs and Tivo from my single internal drop)
