I ain't too worried about it I just wanted to see if it was normal or not. It all seems to be working fine so I ain't going to bother calling CS.

and nope I have nothing on my cable it plugs simply into the back of the modem. My setup is as follows, 1M cable coming from main ntl socket located on my living room wall and that goes to a two way spliter which indicates a 3.5db loss. Two cables leaving the spliter one going into my samsung STB located in the livingroom about a foot away from the spliter and the second cable goes to my upstairs back bedroom via outdoors and is approx 10M in length. This 10M cable was ex sky cable that the engineer used as I guess it saved him a job of doing a re-run. Anyway that ends on a standard f-type socket and a 2M cable is plugged into that and the other end straight into the modem.

I am having a second STB installed on friday in the bedroom so they will prob split the cable in the back bedroom too. So I had better check my levels before I let the engineer leave.
