Rebooting your Set-Top Box (STB) is most often the best way to resolve any issues.

Try rebooting each STB one at a time, checking the TV picture quality for each one.

Unplug the device
Wait 30 seconds
Plug it back in
Give it a few minutes to fully power up

Is it working now? Yes No

If rebooting the equipment did not fix the problem, let’s check the wiring.

There is a coaxial cable connecting each Set-Top Box to a wall outlet. Check each end of the cable to make sure:

The connection is snug and secure
There is no obvious damage to the cable

If there is damage to the cable, replace it with another coaxial cable.

If you are using a cable splitter, make sure its connections are secure.

Let’s make sure the electrical connection for any Set-Top Box (STB) isn’t causing a problem.

Make sure each STB is getting power. If it has no display, there may be a faulty electrical outlet.

If any STB is plugged into a surge protector or power strip, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet.

Let's find out if the problem is with the Set-Top Box (STB) or the wiring.

Take the STB with the pixelation problem, and set it up in another room in your house. Hook it up in place of another STB that’s working fine.

Is it working now? Yes No

Support Wizard

Since your Set-Top Box (STB) can work in another room, let's test the wiring.

Take an STB that’s working well (not the original one), and hook it up in the location where you’re seeing pixelation.
