The cap is in fact a terminating resistor that matches the cable impedance and is always good practice. This prevents resonance occurring.

Thanks.
So it's more to do with protecting the integrity of the network than preventing problems for a former customer as claimed?
Maybe they think that appealing to a persons selfish nature will encourage them to do it more?
Do you mean "poor signal strength" for the ex customer or the network?
If the former, would this only affect Freeview as I assumed?
