That's the beastie! I knew someone would get it.

I have now moved my cable etc up into the loft and all is working, which in
itself is amazing.

I have even moved my widescreen up there as well, NOTHING in the living
room now! great, I will have a bit of time cleaning the house....that's
enough....then start demolishing the living room and make space for a home
cinema, the living room is about 8 metres long and about 5 wide, anyone
know any phone numbers of those women builders on that drink advert where
those lads go on holiday and their hotel is next to the building site?

Almost - in my case, its an attenuator (the opposite of an amp) to help
present the correct signal strength to the cable modem.
