Re: [VA] Why no cable signal when DOM power is out?
I'm sure Cox Tech Support can help better than what I can tell you...but it sounds like they don't have the big power houses that operate while the power is out in your area. If you don't know what I'm talking about, they can be identified as big green boxes labeled with Alpha that would keep cable, telephone, and anything served by cox up and running until power has been restored; at least for a few hours. I believe most of them run on Natural Gas so that shouldn't be a problem.
It would appear that if you don't have power, or signal on your cable line, that the battery backup units that cox provides when you order digital telephone, for your digitial telephone, won't work very well.
[EDIT]
Trying to make more sense of what I previously posted. |
