[Merged] Week wait for engineer - 4db attenuator fitted

[spike7451]

We use 3 types of 'jellybean' as they are known.Forward Path Equalisers,Forward Path Attenuators & Cable Simulators.Basically,Their use is determined by the signal levels at the end of the cable at various points,(omni box,SACM,STB,ect).A attenuator will lower all the signal levels by the value of the one fitted,A equaliser will lower the Analog signal & decrease the slope between the analog & digital signals.A Simulator decreases the signal level if your property is too close to the cab .It sort of takes 50 meters & turns it into 70 meters in other words.It's quite complicated to understand tho.
And with regards to the timeslots customers are given,it my franchise ,we work 9am to 5pm (Contractors 8am to 6pm)
