Re: Attenuators - More trouble than they're worth

Could the original problem have been that the connection between the attenuator and the STB was loose? That might explain it. You may have fixed the problem by simply removing / replacing the coax connections. If you put it back, does the problem recur?

The output power of the ONT shouldn't change over time (around +18 dBmV). It's not hot enough to damage anything.

To answer your question, Geekgirl1, there wasn't any loose connections between the attenuator, the STB, and the coax. As a matter of fact, the attenuator is a pain in the neck to remove, as the thing is cyclindrical in shape and there is no place to grasp it to then loosen the attached coax. I had to hold it with a pair of pliers and used an adjustable wrench to un-screw the coax from the attenuator. I think I pretty much destroyed the thing. I took out my picture stutter frustration out on it. The installer really over-tightened everything.
