Why does my cable box shuts off its power whenever I turn my tv off?
-
I bought a new tv and cable box from Rogers and what I notice is whenever I turn off my tv the digital box turns off its power too only displaying the time? It doesn't work like that for the other one I have in the basement so I'm curious why this one does. I try to turn the power on from the box and leave it like that but that kinda backfires (kinda confusing to explain on here) it was working fine last night that is until my friend was watching it in the morning but I'm not accusing him but I don't think he did anything with it. So please help??

Answer:
Either your remote is programmed to power on/off both the TV and cable box at the same time, or there is a communication link device between the two that automatically powers off the cable box when the television is off.

Your friend evidently reprogrammed your remote while you weren't watching. If you get the instructions out for the remote you can look up and reverse his program. Actually I have my cable remote set to turn off my TV at the same time it turns off the cable box. It's just easier for me.
