Cable box won't turn on

[Peggy_122]

Had to reboot the box because the screen was black on everything except dvr'd shows. It took over 30 minutes for the clock to come back on and then it was operating at 480i and could only get channels in the single digits. Now the box won't come on at all.

It's a good thing then that you rent the box from your cable provider. Call them. They can try to remotely access the box and if they can't resolve the problem replace it since it's their property.
