Whats the deal with "reboots"?

Have always been curious what the differences are between a power cycle (disco/reco power), a reboot (holding down power button) and a reset (where Cox sends a signal). And also the different kind of resets they can send. Anyone know the differences or are they just different methods for the same root purpose?

Last, why do some representives tell you to unplug the receivers for 30 seconds, while other say a couple seconds is good enough.This isn't so much a problem I am having, I am just curious and looking to debunk any possible misinformation. Thoughts?

Domino and Byran, any thoughts? Just think it could be a productive conversation. For instance, what are the different signals sent to a cable card to solve certain problems. Is there any difference between a full reset and the method where you hold down some buttons while plugging it back in? Does that method work on the new Cisco boxes? Etc   for the first person to post.
