Anyone with Comcast cable ever have this happen...
 

Every now and then at 3am the cable boxes will 'cycle' off, then back on, and sometimes it will cause one of the TVs to turn on. Used to freak me out when I'd wake up to it, but now I'm used to it.

This ever happen to anyone else?

I've had comcast for about 3 months now, haven't noticed anything weird like that

I've had the cable box cycle and end up off in the morning - screws up any TIVO'd programs. Ugh. The cable company sometimes sends thru new programming info to the box and has to reboot.

Dude you have ghosts that died in the house at 3am. I just saw a movie about that. Oh yeah, White Noise.

Come over and well watch it

dude, I seriously thought it was a ghost at first... hairs all stood up on my arms and shit. I grew up in a house that was haunted, so I was thinking, 'ah fuck, not again...' LOL

You must have the TV plugged into the Cable Box for power -- there's no need for that. Plug the TV into an "unhaunted outlet" and, at least, it will take care of the middle-of-the-night oogie-boogies -- :)


j-

Freaks my mother in law out every time it happens. Twice now for her.

they used to cycle but it never turned the tv on.

I've had my cable box randomly recycle itself...but never has it turned on a T.V. Maybe the girl from The Ring is coming to get you

yep and it used to suck if you were in the middle of a good movie and the important part was coming. lol

ahaha, oh man this made me laugh. :) thanks for the tip, though, and yes it is plugged into the box... err was. thanks :)

you can tell her she's not alone, lol

yea sometimes around that time my cable modem shuts off and on

I've heard of it.

Seems to coinside with the time they send through the new program listings at 3 or 4am.

Could be there is something in one of your boxes not fuctioning properly, and picking up the reset signal. Sometimes equipment can cause the problem you are having, and sometimes it is something on the network side. Best bet's to call the cable company, and get a tech out there to double check your equipment wiht their gizmo's.
