Troubleshooting

Q. Why doesn't the set-top box respond when I press the keys on my remote?
A. Make sure your remote is in the Cable mode. Press the CABLE button on the remote.
Q. If the power goes out, do I need to reset my Parental Locks and Purchase PINs, Favourite Channels, Locks
and Reminders?
A. No. These items will not be lost if the terminal loses its power.
Q. Nothing happens when the MENU button is pushed, but I can change the channel up and down.
A. If the terminal was just installed, it takes approximately 15-30 minutes for the guide to be downloaded to the
set-top. If after 15-30 minutes nothing happens, unplug the terminal, plug it back in and wait another 15-30 minutes.
If i-Guide still does not appear, call Seaside Communications at 539-6250.
Q. I can't see the edges of the i-Guide screens.
A. Select the Adjust Screen Position option from the Setup screen. Press the

A. Try unplugging the terminal and then plugging it back in. This will reset the terminal and allow for data to be
downloaded. It will take some time for the information to appear. If there is still a problem after the information has
appeared, call Seaside Communications at 539-6250.
Q. I have no video, a snowy picture, or I cannot tune to any of the digital channels.
A. Make sure that all of the cable connections are secure and that the TV is tuned to the correct channel (3 or 4).
Also, make sure you are actually controlling the cable terminal (press the CABLE button on the remote).

A. Go through this quick checklist to determine the problem:
