Frequently Asked Questions

  • −

    Why can’t I watch all the way up to 101 channels?

    Your TV is more than likely tuned to air and not cable; set your TV to tune cable. This is normally found in menu, all televisions are different. You would now need to auto tune (automatic programming, also found in menu).
  • −

    What can I do to move my television to another location?

    Call the office. Moving a television from one location to another usually requires some form of rewiring. Rewiring is not just running wires but also balancing the signal to make sure you receive a high signal quality.
  • −

    What should I do if my neighbor is taking cable from my line?

    Call the office. That is illegal and it might interfere with the quality of service you receive. We will not mention how we receive the information, the technicians won’t know, but we’ll take care of it.
