upload your router power logs here, if the fault is with VM like the last one, you can save yourself buying anything as it's their fault and will probably continue to get worse, if it's not the power levels then it could be something else

power levels are too high, ring VM and they'll fix it for you
Channels 18 to 24 are through the roof, supposed to be between -6 and 10, so inbetween is about 2 or close to it would be ideal.
channels 18 to 24 range from 10 to 12.5:

it depends on the VM cables to the router, if there's lots of connections and splitters, these may be affecting the power levels.
There should be one single cable entering the house, a quality splitter attached to this, Tratec, Technetix or Labgear, then good quality cables going to box and router
if no name splitters are involved and long lengths of cables then this will affect everything, badly

this is what i use, its a 5 metre extension

 

[pabloescaban]

who put the 5m cable in?
if vm added it, it should be calibrated, if you've added it yourself, this will likely be causing the problems

I did it's the only way to to get virgin on because it comes in a different place to where the tv is, anything I can do

Wouldn’t it be better extending the original cable to near (closer) to your tv and then putting in a proper splitter.

The original cable stops the other side of the room and I can't drill any holes through to move the cable closer to where the tv is so that's the best I can do unless there's other alternatives

And as Pablo said. You need to contact VM to sort them power levels. Way to high.

I think you misunderstood.
Where the cable comes in to your house you buy 5m of extra proper Wf100 or RG6 cable and join it using a connector. Run this cable to the tv and then use the splitter.

pablo what are my power levels like now, sorry for the pictures

I presume you dont have a vm box as looking at it is in use with a vm box.
Would a variable attenuator like on the old kv 850 boxes work with new splitter and cables @pablo?
