Hi mate..Hello everyone i have a few channels where the signal fluctuates, i've read a few posts that it could be the downstream levels causing the signal issues. Could anyone have a look to see if there ok thanks.View attachment 27431 View attachment 27433 View attachment 27434
Hi mate..
Im no expert but ive had power level issues. Had to ring vm who advised its a problem in the area due to a upgrade on cabinet..

Not sure mate but the tk vets helped me outA
Alright bud do u know what the downstream levels range should be.
+10 and -6 Downstream should be in the range so signal level is a bit high and requires it to be moved down in the catv cabinet. Always looking for it to be close to 0 as possible. SNR should be greater than 34.
I've connected a 3db forward path attenuator to the back of the router, it seems to have lowered the levels down abit, do u think I should try a higher attenuator cheers.An attenuator would bring your levels down.
What db attenuator would u go for though bud if I was to lower the downstream levels in the pictures.As long as it's within range of between -6 and +10 it should be fine.
Is it best to contact vm, get them to sort it.
Cheers6db or 10db i would use
I called vm now and they did something over the phone.im finally glitch and judder free for nw..Cheers

from the above is that saying minus 10 average for everything and too low?
I had exact same issue..i only have broadband with them..at least I know the issue thats been bugging my cable use since april this year, majority of the time the channels are ok but you get the odd day where its crap and judders all over the place.
As I'm a virgin broadband only customer can power level affect that too as I cant really ring them up and complain about the tv being juddery, or should I just say to them that the power levels on my router are not up to spec and just leave it like that?
Im not sure now lol..it could be your equipmemt such as splitters and the type of cable you use..but i cant guarantee..I was gonna ring virgin but just unplugged the box and splitter and just plugged the original virgin white cable back into the box and the power levels are no longer -11 they are all between like -4 and -6, does that indicate something else is wrong perhaps or my cable is shite?
