:cry:
Maybe someone will have a suggestion I haven't already tried.
Series of events:
In mid November I asked to have the cable shut off because I was getting in an ever deeper financial hole. Well, I WORK there so they took their time in getting around to shutting it off. During that time (about 2 weeks) I was playing with getting a media center pc hooked up - so I messed with some connections. While in the midst of THAT the digital cable was shut off. (those sweeties I work with left ON my analog, however) When the digital cable box was shut off it immediately went to analog and the stations come in through the television itself. Now - before the digital cable was shut off if I shut of the set top box the television just went dark - it did not switch to analog stations.
Now it has been announced that all employees in our service area are being offered FULL service digital (all regular AND pay stations - with the exception of PPV) for a flat $15/month. SWEET. My cable bill is paid off, so I decide to turn it back on, and get a second box for the bedroom while I'm at it. I want one of the newer (with more connections) boxes, so they require a 12 hour burn in before the box can be hit ... which couldn't happen today. I will get the new box on Monday at work. My digital service is *supposed* to be restored, however.
I got nothing. Same behavior as mentioned above (although I think previously the box didn't even turn on and display any numbers/etc - and now it does) - no video or audio, and if I shut the box off it immediately switches to analog on the tv.
Did they likely not complete the process of turning me back on ... or am I having a freeper moment? Any ideas?
