so slow to load

When I power on my tv I get a welcome screen as if it is my first time ever turning it on.  I timed it and it takes 4 minutes and 20 seconds before the cable channels finally open up to watch.  Over 4 minutes to turn on a tv?!!!  I have have 4 different techs come out over the past year.  Each changed out the box, scratched their heads and left with no improvement.  Actually the last tech told me it was fixed and when i tested it it took longer than ever.

Help.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to reach out on our Forums page in regard to the ongoing Cable TV/box problem you have been experiencing. I can definitely imagine how inconvenient this has been for you and we certainly want to further assist you with getting this problem corrected. We also apologize for any frustration this has caused you as well. To confirm, does this problem occur every time you turn the TV on, or does it only occur intermittently?

Oh no, that is no fun at all and definitely should not be occurring, When the technicians have come out and after replacing the box, did they get to see this problem occur while they were there? Also, has this occurred since you began service with us? Have any of the technicians replaced the coax cable when coming out as well?

They said it was all they could do.  Even though it is obviously unacceptable.  They did not replace the coax cable.
