I'm seeing the same thing right now with my Cisco RNG100 and RNG150 STBs. When I restore power to them (via my generator), their power indicators are not going on. Only my DTAs have a flashing indicator right now.

There is no cable TV/HSI/CDV service right now in our development, due to the loss of commercial power to feed the line amps and nodes. So I guess they will not light up until signal appears again on the cable.

[BTW - I'm back online now via my office, which finally regained power.

Sandy damage

said by eschamp:

How are things in Lincroft?

While there was no flooding in our area (being inland and only receiving about an inch of rain), the winds from Sandy took down a large number of trees, and power lines and telephone/Comcast/FiOS cables with them.

The center of town had power restored by the weekend, but many of the residential developments (including mine) off the main road do not have power restored yet.

Above is a photo of a broken utility pole in our development. While JCP&L put in a new pole next to it last Friday, a "line crew" has not yet come to move the cables to it.
