Well today I was moving my things to another bedroom including my tv and cable box (8300HDC) and when I hooked everything up, I noticed something weird. I plugged in the box and it starts off saying "boot" on the interface, goes blank for a few seconds, then I see what looks like an "A , E". The top part of the E is gone but I'm assuming thats what it is. Before I have someone come over and check it out, anyone know what that means? |

It can take several minutes before your box is up and ready. At first, I also thought that my box was dead. However, if I let it there for 10 minutes, it comes back to life. What was happening was that TW was uploading/configuring my device. |

A and E is actually Alt let the box finish its booting process. Turn your TV on and watch it go if you want. |
