Getting Your Cable TV Service Re-established
Hotwire internet and cable TV service was restored Thursday at about noon. If your cable TV service is not working, you may need to do a simple procedure to re-establish a Wi-Fi connection to your set top box. This is very simple and involves only using the handheld remote from Hotwire and your TV.

Click the Power button.
-
Your TV should “wake up”

Depress the big button at the top with the “rabbit ear” TV icon.

This will cause a screen to be displayed, from which you can select among , Live TV, My Shows, and others.

Click on the Left Arrow to move to the Menu selection.

Now, using the Down Arrow, move to the bottom selection on the list – Device Settings.
-
Press OK to select.
-
On the right side of your screen, you should see one item referencing Wi-Fi connections.This should only take a few seconds.
-
-
Using the Arrow keys, move the cursor to the item that references the name of your personal Wi-Fi network and press OK to select it.
-
Once selected, you may be asked to enter your Wi-Fi password and a keyboard will dislplay on your TV screen.
