How to fix this?
Here are seven fixes you can try out.
Check your connections
The first thing you should do is check to see if all the incoming connections to your set-top box are properly in place and that there’s no damage to the cable. Loose connections are one of the leading causes of this error as they don’t let the signal pass through to the device uninterrupted.
Check service status
The next thing to do is checking Spectrum’s service status. If your service provider is facing an outage, chances are you’ll run into problems as well. Since the error indicates no signal on the target device, there’s a chance that your service provider may be facing some problems on their end.
Reboot the device
Rebooting is an age-old fix that’s known to resolve a lot of seemingly random issues with just about any device. All you have to do is disconnect the power supply, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds and let the box sit for another 60 seconds. Now plug it back in again and the error should be gone.

Check your internet
Now’s also a good time to check whether or not you have an active internet connection. If you’re on WiFi, make sure you’ve got an active link and that there are no signal issues. On cellular data, ensure that it’s enabled and that you’re getting good network coverage.
Restarting your router can help get rid of a bunch of seemingly random internet and connectivity issues that may be hindering your connection to Spectrum’s servers.
Check subscription status
Another thing to keep an eye out for is your subscription status. If the connection to your house is terminated by Spectrum due to unpaid bills or any other factors, you’ll end up seeing this error on your TV.
Update the Spectrum set-top box
If you’re running an old or outdated firmware on your Spectrum box, chances are it’ll stop processing signals at some point. Try checking to see if there’s an update available and if there is, immediately update to the latest version.
Contact Spetrum support
Finally, if nothing else works, your best bet is to contact Spectrum support and have them fix the issue for you. The customer support agent will able to accurately identify the root cause of the problem and resolve it to resume service.
