Reprogramming a Rogers digital cable box to work with HDTV takes only a few minutes.

Rogers Digital Cable is a Canadian cable television company that delivers high-definition programming to subscribers with the company's HDTV receiver boxes. The digital cable box connects to an HDTV with a High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) cable. The company uses Scientific Atlanta high-definition receivers for HDTV service, so the setup is merely a matter of following the on-screen instructions the receiver will display on the HDTV when first connected. If a problem occurs, the box can be reprogrammed by following a few simple steps.

Step 1

Unplug the Rogers digital cable box from the electricity and disconnect the HDMI cable from the back panel by pulling straight out from the jack by the plug. Wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the cables but leave the cable box turned off. This will reset the box to factory defaults.
