I have two cable boxes. in one room hd tv works perfectly. other room it did but then i moved into an upstairs room. it had cable but when i plugged in the second cable box, it wouldnt show any other time except for 5 o’ clock and the channels wiould say temporarily off the air please check back later, but when i plug the cable in directly from the wall straight into the tv it works fine but keep in mind that this same cable box gave me hd in a different room. what is the problem and what are the procedures for me getting hd digital cable in my room upstairs? thank you.

Did you call your cable provider? You need to reboot the box probably, but they can tell you exactly what you need to do.

There is no problem moving the box to another room, so give them a call and they will walk you through the process.
