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.

Here is how to do it, all using the remote:

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

  • Press the OK button to select it.
     

  • Now, using the Down Arrow, move to the bottom selection on the list – Device Settings.
