Temporarily off air

Solar flares? Who told you that? What nonsense!!! I agree that after 40 years, they should be able to keep their signals working. All the pay per view channels apparently have a strong signal. tells you something about their priorities, doesn't it? Shopping channels also work. I like to watch MeTV, Hogan's Heroes, Rifleman, Outer Limits and a couple others, but their signals are apparently weak because all the 900 series channels, including MeTV - 904 are off the air. Anyway, I have a brand new box (was still in shrink wrap from the Cox store in Fairfax), remote and placed the box on a step ladder and connected it directly to the cable coming from the telephone pole. I ran a brand new cable from the UHF/VHF output from the box and connected to the UHF/VHF on my tv. No change was observed in the available channels. So, that proves the signal coming from the street is fucked up. I haven't called the technician yet because I have more time to practice piano and other things, since I'm not watching old reruns and stupid commercials. it's better for my health. I get one channel that has local and national news - 1008, and TBS - 17, if I want to watch some comedy. I don't need the Music Choice channels because I have plenty of CDs and other recordings. The main reason I have any TV is that I need internet and have to submit to Cox consumer oppression policy of buying tv to get internet.
