new tv box does not work

I exchanged my old tv box for a new one on 3/31.  I had trouble setting up the new box.  It never went through the initial setup process.  It just sat there when I plugged it in.  I tried a reset via the website and eventually, the cable just started working after about an hour, but not very well, the remote only worked about half of the time.  Now the tv box has stopped working again.  It states that it is "online" in my account settings, but it just sits there with the Welcome screen.

user_31bqsk Have you tried a full power cycle to the TV box?

I'm not sure how to do a full power cycle.

user_31bqsk To powercycle the box you just need to unplug the box from the power for at least 30 seconds then plug the box back in and allow it to reboot.
