user_rn80r2 Thanks for reaching out. 

It sounds like you're having some trouble with your cable box. Let's try to troubleshoot this together. Here are a few steps you can take:

    1. Check Connections: Ensure all cables are securely connected to the cable box and the TV. Sometimes a loose connection can cause issues.

    2. Restart the Cable Box: Unplug the cable box from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. This can often resolve loading issues.

    3. Check the TV Input: Make sure your TV is set to the correct input/source that the cable box is connected to (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2).

    4. Reset the Cable Box: If restarting doesn't work, look for a reset button on the cable box. Press and hold it for about 10 seconds.
