My experience with hot signals was an interesting one. Flapping DS3 that I couldn't
get my finger on a good reason until the TAC pointed out that perhaps I should look
at the signal strength. After grabbing a spec analyzer I was quite surprised to see
that the signal was much too high to be using. Working for a cable company
at the time, I "just happened" to have some pads (passive attenuation device) laying around.
Insertion of the pad inline on my RX feed took care of the problem in a jiffy.
You can pick them up just about anywhere. Nothing too magic about them.
g'luck...
