As I said earlier in the post, I'm happy to post anyone an attenuator if they needed one. I have quite a few of the Technetix FPA's sat around doing nothing.

D3.1 upstream has been trialled. And even for more D3 upstream the same applies, the more spectrum the better.

Yea I would imagine there will be a hell of a lot of them out there. This was the advice quite a few years ago I guess for each less one they have out there it’s 1 less potential tech visit. The strategy could be totally different now, I haven’t worked around CPE for a fair few years, and I no longer work for VM.

The old FM isolators are replaced as a matter of course anyway. I believe the FM frequencies were in the low 100s MHz on the downstream, although that system was before my time so not sure. But I believe on the tv/bb side of the isolator it doesn’t separate frequencies like an FPA as the isolator acts as a fuse as such to prevent voltages in each direction
