How to restart your set-top box

For help restarting your TV set-top box, follow these five steps.
  1. Unplug your set-top box’s power cord from the electrical outlet.
  2. Wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in to the electrical outlet.
  3. Turn on the set-top box and TV (ensure it’s on the correct input setting).
  4. Wait a few minutes while the Interactive Media Guide updates. Follow any on-screen instructions.
  5. Check to see if this resolves your issue. If it doesn't, the set-top box might need to be re-initialized. Please chat with us for help.
Note: Be sure you're disconnecting only the electrical power cord — not the coaxial cable. A coaxial cable that isn't fastened securely can cause problems. Make sure all connections are secure.
