Thank you
Please allow me a moment to provide you with further instructions, I would really appreciate it if you would wait for me in the chat. Thank you!
Can you please:

  1. Check if you have anything plugged into the LAN Ethernet ports on the back of your router (the Yellow Ports, ilistrated below) If you do, please unplug these connections for the duration of this operation.
  2. Unplug the affected IPC from power.
    ok


Let me know please when you're done
I don’t see any ports that are yellow
What particular model do you have an issues with?

Allow me a moment, please.
Can you:

  1. Unplug the affected IPC from power
  2. With one hand plug the power cable back into the IPC and with the other hand press the Menu button on your remote as many times and as quickly as you can.
    Note: You will know you are successful if you see the word "RUN" on the display of the STB, if you do not see this (you see the spinning line instead), start from step 2 (Unplugging the box) and try again.
  3. Use the Down arrow on the FiOS remote until you see the word "COLD"


Ok got cold

Press OK to begin the process.

  1. Despite what the screen will say, the process can take up to 15 minutes until you can get to live TV.
  2. During this step, the IPC may as you to name it
  3. Using the list you can scroll down until you see a name for which room the box is in and press OK
  4. During this step, the IPC ask if you'd like to import settings (I personally recommend skipping the settings import.)
  5. You can choose to skip, or use the arrow keys to select an option and press OK
  6. It can take a while for the box to continue after pressing OK, please be patient


Are you still with me? What stage are you at?
ok the tv is on and I have pictures voice
