How worried should I be about getting a virus off the internet?
- If you receive an e-mail that has an attachment and you don’t know who sent it to you, don’t trust the people that sent it to you, or don’t know what the attachment is, don’t open it. Viruses are programs that need to be run to be activated and if you don’t run it, it can’t hurt you.
- Do not download software from anywhere but reputable sources. Make sure you are downloading the software program from the company that made it.
- Do not pass along E-mail warnings of viruses that do not actually have an attachment. They do not help anyone and almost always are a hoax.

Trouble Shooting
What do I do if my internet is not working?
- Restart your computer. This is usually the quickest and easiest way to cure any problems.
- Unplug the power to the cable modem and then router if you have one. Wait 30 seconds and plug the modem and router back in. This is called power cycling the modem. After you recycle, you will then need to restart your computer.
- Check the “online” light on the modem. If you power cycle and the light still does not come on, it is probably a problem with our cable signal. Call our office immediately as this may require a visit from our service technicians. Please have your MAC ID ready which is located on the bottom of your modem.
- PC problems – If the modem is online and you cannot get on the internet it is most likely a problem with the computer. You can call our office and schedule an appointment (may take 1-2 working days). There will be a $75.00 charge (per hour) for a technical visit if the problem is with the computer. If the problem is with our equipment there will not be a charge for the service call.
- E-Mail problems – If you are unable to send or receive e-mail, you may call our technical support Hot Line at 888-537-6392. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Why can I only see channels 2-13
Why is the audio not working on some of my channels?
- Hit the menu button
- Audio Settings
- Stereo should be highlighted NOT SAP
NOTE: This can randomly change at any time on your TV. If you experience this problem in the future, this should be your first troubleshooting method.
What is SAP and how do I correct SAP settings on my TV?
Remedy- In your TV setup menu, under “Audio”, you can select “SAP” and turn it off. You may also be able to locate an SAP button on your TV remote. Sometimes there is even a physical switch on the television you have to switch. Your TV audio should then be normal. For details on how to configure your TV, you may need to consult your owner’s manual.
SAP settings will be in 1 of 3 places:
- Audio settings in the menu
- A physical switch on the television
- On the remote labeled SAP or secondary audio
