Is Cable Strength Test supposed to work on all Cable Boxes?

The Labs>Cable Strength test works on my primary X1 DVR, but on the small cable boxes I have in other rooms, it never works. Says Unknown, can not detect at this time, etc....

 

They are on different cables too in my cable box outside.

Yes, that test will only work on the DVR or XG2. It has an internal modem and that’s what measures the signal strength. Smaller boxes don’t have anything to test with

Why the theck are images not showing? Is anyone able to see my image? I uploaded it from an online URL and from my desktop, within file size. Tried changing the format, and the size, still just showing  a blank traingle on the forum here.

Since you are a new poster, it needs to be approved by a Forum Admin. That could take some time. In the interim, you could try hosting it at one of those free third-party pic hosting sites like Imgur or Photobucket and post the link to it here.
