Hello. I hope that this forum is a good place to ask this question.

I live in New York and have digital cable. From time to time, the screen goes black and a "Please Wait" notice appears. Normally this lasts only a few seconds, but lately it is more frequent and lasts longer.

Is this normal?

When I phone the cable company they simply tell me to reboot by unplugging and replugging. But at this rate I almost need to unplug and reboot every day before I start watching TV.

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

Thanks.
