Troubleshooting
Q // Why do I have the message “No Signal” (Source Not Found, Weak Signal)?
A // This message may indicate that the TV is not tuned to the proper input or source. Press the “TV“ device button
on the remote and then press the “Input“ button to change the input selection.
Q // Why do I get the message “Temporarily Off Air” on my TV?
A // This may be a signal issue. Check connections from the wall to the receiver to make sure they
are secure. The cable wire should be secured in the “Cable In“ or “RF In“ on the back of the receiver. If they are
secure and the problem persists, please visit us at cox.com/support for additional assistance.
Q // Why isn’t my remote working on my digital receiver?
A // Try pressing the “Cable“ button and then “Power.“ If your receiver powers on or off, then try the same thing by
pressing the “TV“ button and then “Power.“
Q // The Interactive Program Guide (IPG) has no data or descriptions. How can I restore the data?
A // First, make sure the cable wire is secured tightly to the back of the receiver. Then unplug the power from the
receiver. Wait approximately 15–30 seconds before plugging the power back into the receiver to begin the IPG
downloading process. This will take about five minutes to complete. NOTE: While the guide is downloading
information, you can operate the remote control, but IPG information may be unavailable for those five minutes.
Checking for Loose Connections
// Finger-tighten all cables coming from the wall,
receiver, splitter, TV and other devices.
// Verify the cable is not damaged. If the cable
is damaged, contact support to schedule
a service visit.
Resetting Your Digital Receiver
// Disconnect the power to the digital receiver
by either unplugging the power cord from
the outlet or from the back of the cable box.
Then wait 15–30 seconds.
// Reconnect the power to the digital receiver by
either plugging the power cord back into the
wall outlet or into the back of the digital receiver.
// Wait about five minutes for the digital receiver
to reset. When the clock on your digital receiver
activates, the reset is complete.
Checking Your TV Settings
for Correct Input
// Press the “Input“ button (may be labeled TV/VIDEO,
SOURCE or Antenna) on the TV or the remote
control that came with the TV.
// Select the option for TV on the menu displayed on
the screen. It may be labeled Cable TV, CATV, CAB,
Input 1, Video 1, Antenna 1, AV1, HDMI, DVI or
another name (check your TV user manual).
// Usually, the label describes the type of connection
from the digital receiver to the TV (such as cable,
AV, HDMI, DVI or component).
// Or select each option one at a time, returning to
live TV to see if the option restored the picture.
