Cable box is showing 8888 this morning?

I think we lost power last night but this morning our receiver is showing 8888 on its display. How do I fix it?

Have you tried to unplug the box from the wall and re-plug it back in? if you haven't try that. If this does not help email me at doug_powell@cable.comcast.com.

Welcome to the forum Doug!

I used to have an older receiver with Comcast that would occasionally throw a 8888 code, and unplugging and replugging back in would correct it everytime. This was back in 03-05 of course.

Does this happen often on newer receivers?

If this begins to happen too often, we may need to see about the equipment itself. Let us know. We here to Make it Right!!!

and thanks, I am glad to be here.
