It's saying "NIT" (Network Information Table), and doesn't really help identify the problem.

It could actually be a cable fault. The broadband uses a narrow range of frequencies, whereas the TV uses far more. If some of the TV frequencies were at the wrong signal level on the cable this could cause the box to stick on PAT. Also it might just be that your CM has a particularly good tuner.

Given that the fault started when you disturbed the cables, I think a signal level problem is quite likely. Whatever, you are going to have to ring Faults to get it fixed.
