How to Reconnect a Charter Cable Box
Perhaps you disconnected your Charter Cable box to paint a room, set up new furniture, or because you moved. Whatever the reason was, you now want to reconnect the cable box. There's no need to call a Charter technician to perform this task for you; unless you have moved to a new residence or are installing the cable box in a new room, you can do this on your own. It you have moved, or wish to use the cable box in a room not wired for Charter cable service, call Charter customer support to have a technician come install the primary wiring.
