Problem: I'm only getting channels up to 13.
Possible Cause: The signal type may be on the wrong setting on the TV set.
Remedy: There may be a button labeled CATV on the remote control or on the television set. That button must be set to the CATV mode. Switch the button to the CATV mode to allow access to all the channels. Back to Top ^

Problem: There is a buzzing noise on the audio for the channels.
Possible Cause: The volume on your television may be set too high.
Remedy: Turn the volume down by using the volume button on your television set until the buzzing stops. Then use the remote control for the cable converter box and adjust the volume up to the level that meets your satisfaction. Back to Top ^

Problem: All of the cable channels are snowy or fuzzy.
Possible Cause: Your TV or VCR may be tuned to the wrong channel.
Remedy: The television set must be tuned to Channel 3. If you are using your VCR it should be tuned to Channel 3. If you are not recording turning off the power on your VCR may help. Check your cable connections (wires and fittings) to ensure they are screwed on tight. If the problem still exists after you tried the fixes, it is possible you are experiencing a problem with signal levels and may need a service call. Please contact our service center at 912 for assistance. Back to Top ^

Problem: All of the digital channels are showing however, the channel guide does not list the program description. The channel guide displays "To be Announced."
Possible Cause: The digital converter lost power due to either a power failure or a wall switch turned in the off position.
Remedy: Plug the digital converter directly into a wall outlet. Do not use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch because if the switch in the off position it will kill the power to the wall outlet. If you still receive the message after 45 minutes you may have a signal problem and may need a service call. Please call customer care at 779-9999 to report the problem and schedule a repair visit.
