Question

My io cable box froze, how do I restart it?

Answer 1

Just to add a Sub comment to the answer above, yes you simply unplug the box for a few minutes to let it clear it's memory, then plug it back in.

More then likely after this process is complete you will get a message saying 'Not authorized' All you need to do if this occurs is call the cable company and have them 'Re-authorize' or 'Zap' your cable box.  Then all will be well

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

Unplug it, let it set for 5 minutes, and plug it back in.
