Re: Cable Box Freezes - Constantly
We have this problem, as well. It's only with one box. The HD box in the living room works fine. The standard def box in the bedroom is horrible. I have had technicians out several times. When it was originally set up at this house, the technician who came out said the connections were bad due to subgrade materials (we're in a rental). Instead of running new cables from the main box, he just set it up anyway. His excuse was that the cables probably ran through the attic, and he was prohibited from going up there due to the heat. (They don't run through the attic at all. They run around the outside of the house, just under the eaves.) A couple months later, I called them out to try to get it fixed. They wanted to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix the cables. I told them to forget it. When I called them a third time, they came out and ran new cables around the outside of the house--which could have been done when it was initially installed. Now, over a year later, we're having problems with that box/connection again. I'm at the point where I'm starting to think about satellite again, because this is ridiculous.20Views0likes0Comments
