My digital box on the tv won't power on. I am having trouble getting through

[applegrove]

to the cable company. This may not be a bad thing on a night like tonight on second thought. Who is with me?

[PJMcK]

1. Is it plugged in? (n/t)

[applegrove]

2. Yup. I've unplugged and plugged it in a few times. It won't boot up.

3. Sorry, I was being a snark

There may be a button on the back of your box that you should press while rebooting.

Again, sorry for being a jerk!

[applegrove]

6. You are not being a jerk.

4. check your control panel

or fuse box as we used to say, maybe the plug has flipped the breaker?
you could also reboot the box ?

✌🏼

7. The red light denoting that the digital box is not powered up is on. So the box

has power. It is just not on to do its only job. I tried rebooting. I will do so again.

5. Can you stream instead of using the cable box?

[applegrove]

8. I would not know where to start to stream.

9. Get the free one month HULU deal then cancel.

TV streams even with a very slow internet speed. I used to have 3 mbps DSL and it worked.

10. My tv is nowhere near my internet.

11. Watch on your monitor until you get your cable fixed.

12. Does Bill Maher livestream? I guess on hulu. I don't want a free trial.

I guess the gods are telling me not to watch the news tonight. Vibes to one and all.

14. I will wait til someone posts it at DU. But thanks. I didn't mean for you to look

it up. If you were a streamer i thought you might know.

15. Couldn't escape it.

Switched from MSNBC to CBS to watch a Blue Bloods rerun. Within 2 minutes they station cut in with live coverage of local disturbances. It’s still going on. No fires but glass broken in the Federal Courthouse, and at tire store across the street. The police so far have shown restraint, although they did use tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd.

16. I know my anxiety will not get topped up by watching such sad, sad

and scary times. I just hope nobody gets hurt tonight. I did want to see what Biden said. I will look for it online.

17. You don't live in the Seattle area, do you?

My cable and internet was off all damn afternoon.

[applegrove]

18. No. There is power to the digital box. The tv i can turn on with the other

remote. I just can't get any stations to render. I wonder if the cable company is overwhelmed because i kept being put in cue to 'chat' but never got to a live person who could help me.
