4 I have had that problem on many occasions. After checking all the wiring and finding it okay I called the cable. He got me to unplug each cord one at a time, give it a moment or two and then plug it back in make sure it is firmly seated.As he's telling me that stuff, I am sitting here rolling my eyes and wondering where they found that airhead.
