Troubleshooting Your TV

Your first step should be to make sure that the problem you are having with your service is not caused by your actual TV set. You can check with the manufacturer of your TV online or look at your owner's manual if you still have it. Often, there are lists of known issues that affect a particular model, so that's an easy first place to check.

If you determine that your television is not causing the problem, you should prepare to call your TV provider. Make sure to have your account number available as well as notes on exactly what is happening with your TV service and what you've done to try to correct the issue. Having all this information available will help you to easily tell the customer service representative about the problem. The customer service representative may be able to fix the problem over the phone or they may need to send someone to your home to fix the problem.
