One or More TVs are Not Working
If one or more of your TVs are not working, please check:
- Your Set-Top Box should have 2 green lights that are lit and steady, not flashing. These lights will be for “Power” and “On Line” indicators.
- If your “On Line” light is NOT on, check the Ethernet cable that connects your Set-Top Box to your modem or 3-Com switch, to make sure that the plug is connected to the correct ports, and are securely attached.
- If none of your TVs are working, your modem is not linked properly. Please check the connections between your modem and Ethernet cords.

Troubleshooting Your Picture Quality
Picture Quality
If you are experiencing poor, distorted or fuzzy images with your Digital Cable subscription, please try the following:
- Make sure your connections to your Set-Top Box and TV are plugged in tightly and securely.
- Make sure all connections are plugged in to the correct locations.
- Try changing the channel. If only one channel has poor quality, chances are the transmission that we have received is of low quality, also. Check that channel later.
- Verify that your Set-Top Box and TV are on the correct resolution.
To check your STB resolution:
- Press the STB button at the top of the remote, followed by pressing the “INPUT” button at the bottom left of your remote.
- Press the Guide button. If the guide does not appear, press “INPUT” again. Repeat this step until you can see the guide on your screen.
- Once the guide appears on your screen, you can continue watching television normally.
To check the TV resolution:
Use the buttons that are typically located on the front of your TV. You might need to contact the TV manufacturer for further instructions.
