  1. What can I do if I am not receiving any picture at all?
    1. To troubleshoot, first check to see if the issue affects just one TV or all TVs in your home.
      1. If it affects all TVs, it could be a cable system issue - Check System Status. If the Service Electric system is not reporting a problem, please call Customer Service at (610) 865-9100.
      2. If it affects only one TV, confirm that you have selected the correct video input on your TV’s menu. Make sure that the cable line goes directly from the wall into the back of our converter box then into the back of your TV. Re-check picture.
        1. If the picture returns, the issue may have been caused by additional equipment between the cable line and TV. You should test that equipment to isolate the problem.
        2. If the picture does not return, the issue may be anywhere from the wall outlet to something outside your home. Please call Customer Service at (610) 865-9100.
