Right, so take that thing out and let's see what the levels are like without it.
Yellow brick, splitter, tv box, coax cabling all removed. Only coax going directly into superhub right now.

DOWNSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) -1.25 -1.77 -1.44 -0.88 -0.93 -1.30 -1.34 -1.72
RxMER (dB) 36.39 36.17 36.17 36.39 36.84 36.84 36.39 36.39


UPSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) 45.50 N/A N/A 44.50

Just yellow brick removed:

DOWNSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) -5.24 -5.82 -5.34 -4.90 -4.82 -5.02 -5.17 -5.32
RxMER (dB) 35.42 34.77 35.08 35.42 35.97 35.78 35.60 35.42

UPSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) 49.00 N/A N/A 48.00

EVERYTHING connected up again:

DOWNSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) 9.89 9.80 9.55 10.15 9.81 9.44 9.79 9.12
RxMER (dB) 35.97 36.39 35.97 36.17 36.39 36.39 36.17 35.97

UPSTREAM:
Power Level (dBmV) 49.00 N/A N/A 48.00


I was advised to get this yellow brick from a few people, without the yellow brick the power levels did fall to -9dbmv at times. Which i thought was the reason for the disconnections. The disconnections was happening almost every day till i bought and fitted the yellow brick. Now it happens every now and again (once or twice per week tops). So the figures above all seem OK do they not?. This is what happens when a engineer comes out, they find no fault.

Told vm cs in UK i tried the amp, he said nothing. This guy claimed he was senior.
