There is no “click experiencing issues” button. It just takes me to a page that says unplug receiver for 60 sec. done that lots of times still no programs. Under equipment it just says voicemail. And can not find a reset button. So unfo9rtunatly this page was no help.
Spectrum cable TV has issues every time I watch the Hallmark channel. Skips and pixels running across the screen.
Ruins the enjoyment of watching a movie.
Just came off a 4+hr blackout. Solution #2 worked well.
