Put in new batteries or check that the battery contact points inside the remote are free of rust or acid build-up from leaking batteries.

it sounds like the box is working proper... just needs to wake up. the remote may be your problem.
God Bless Motorola For Giving Us Cable Boxes With No Buttons!
ok, does your remote have lights that flash when you hit buttons?
for example pushing volume lights up tv. if the cable light doesn't flash then it may need reprogrammed. if none of this applies to your remote... sorry

good luck

its "cold", which means its still downloading. give it 1/2 hour at some point the box will reset and you will see a blue bar with 3 yellow dots. when that goes away toyr box will have a guide and channel bars but they will say no data or to be announced or something of the sort. 10 more min and you will be all set.

hope you didnt mess to much up fussing with it

good luck ;}~

shouldnt have to "recconect" the remote. have you tried it with a different outlet (not conected to cable just to see if the little power light comes on. Also, how long unpluged. if over 2wks to a month might it may be downloaing new firmware that is "pushed" to the device durring normal operation. If neither works you may need to have it swapped out.

i do not believe this is a function of the dct700 but you can try turning the power off then hitting the menu button (maybe twice or hold down. if the option is there that would be the place to look
