Do I need a box for Expanded Basic service?
No, all you need is a cable connection. Connect the TV to the cable outlet, and you’re ready to watch. And, any room with a cable outlet can have Expanded Basic at no additional charge. 
What is the Channel Lineup for my area?
Please visit the Channel Lineups page – then just select your state and town.
There's something wrong with my picture. What should I do?
If your TV picture is snowy, pixelated, freezing or the screen is blank – please try these steps:

1. Double check all connections. They should be “hand-tight”.

If you are using a set-top box, the cable from the wall should be connected to the “IN” jack on the box.

If you are not using a cable box, the cable coming from the wall should be connected to the “IN” jack on the DVD, VCR, or directly to the TV.

2. Check the TV. The power should be ON. The right channel (usually channel 3) should be selected. If you are an HD subscriber, make sure the correct input is selected.

3. Check the Cable Box. The box should be ON. The box may need to be rebooted. Here’s how to do it:

- Turn the TV off.

- Unplug the cable box power cord from the wall.

- Wait 10 to 15 seconds.

- Plug the cable box power cord back in to the power supply.

- Wait for the box to display the time.

- Turn the cable box ON.

- Turn the TV ON.

- Wait for several minutes to give the box time to re-cycle.

4. If you still have problems – please call the Customer Care Center. Tell them what you have tried. They will ask if you have your TV and Cable Box ON. They will offer other suggestions, then schedule a repair call if necessary.
