Question Cable power check

Could someone check these numbers look OK:
Downstream power level: -13.1 dBmV
Downstream SNR: 34.9 dB
Upstream power level: 55.0 dBmV

From what I've read, the downstream power level looks very low and upstream power looks very high. Is it worth calling VM for them to check it out?
Thanks!

Re: Cable power check

Hey my downstream is 0.2dBmV its supposed to be 3.0. Your upstream is looking... fairly normal. But your downstream is too high? :S

Downstream is To Low, that has a Minus sign in front of it, your Upstream is a bit high.

Re: Cable power check

From what I've read, downstream should be -8 to 8 dBmV and upstream should be less than 50dBmV. I could be wrong though...

So you think it's worth calling VM?
