Power cycling the device by unplugging it, waiting 2-3 minutes, and plugging it back in, may resolve the issue temporarily.

Previously, The Weather Network feed was tailored to the specific areas in which it was broadcasted. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The national feed has been put in the place. At this point in time, there is no expected ETA of this being reverted back to its previous broadcasting format. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Free previews vary by month. You can view what free previews are available by:
Note: Unfortunately, unlike NEXTV, there is not an option to ‘Show only your subscribed channels’. Instead, you will need to mark all of your subscribed channels as ‘favourites’, then select a setting where it will only display your favorite channels in the guide. The only issue with this is that you will need to alter this for both free previews and if you add/remove channels. Please see the steps listed below:

Unfortunately, this is the way we get the signal from the networks. As networks make the switch to HD broadcasting, they have to fit a picture meant for a rectangular HD TV onto SD channels which are meant for square SD TVs, which results in bars being displayed as described.
Note: If you have one style of our Standard Remotes, there is an Aspect button in which you can press to alter the Aspect ratio being provided by the cable box.
Note: Not all TVs will require these specific settings, but this is the most general one. You may need to try multiple different ones to find the correct setting for the customer's TV.
Please note that EVO is no longer being created, updated, or supported by the manufacturer. This makes it difficult to support as the software is no longer being updated, nor is there new hardware to replace the old faulty hardware with. If you are experiencing technical issues with your EVO, we strongly suggest transitioning to our NexTV platform. We have the same, if not more, channels available at either a comparable or cheaper pricing structure.
All below actions take place on the TIVO Gateway (this section is not available on TIVO Players).
Ensure that the TV is powered on. To verify, try to turn the TV on/off, either via your Access Evo remote or the remote that came with your TV. You should be able to see some sort of change on the TV screen, whether it be a light going on/off, the current input the TV is on (ex. HDMI1, TV, CABLE, etc.), or a slight brightening of the screen itself. Noticing one or more of these changes will help you determine whether the TV is on or not.
If there is no change, please investigate the power to your TV via verifying it is plugged in. If it is plugged in, test the power source (via plugging something else that is known to work), unplugging it from power (waiting 20 seconds, then plugging it back in), and/or changing the power source that it is plugged into. If this does not resolve the problem, it may be a TV specific issue.
