Good point, I hadn't thought of that. How can the cable need replacing if the downstream is working? Isn't the only difference the frequency they use. I'm sure a cable can't break in such a way that it lets one frequency through but not the other. I must admit I have little knowledge of how the hardware actually works.

No, I don't have a Digibox BTW, only services I have are telephone and broadband. Broadband uses a dedicted Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem which is old technology apparently, but hey, it worked fine for the last 4 years right up until 18th August :-(
