Just today my cable box started logging every phone call multiple times, three or four times for each call. I didn't reboot the box yet.

Anyone else having this quirk?

Yes.  Same problem here in Brookfield.  We had a call that was logged eight times last night!  It's not just you.

I am going to report to TWC-Wisconsin on Twitter so that they know.  You should too, so they know the problem is not just one customer.

It seems to be fixed. I'm not sure when though, I didn't get any calls for many hours.

I spoke too soon, it's still logging calls multiple times.

Same issues as you.  Seemed to be fixed yesterday but it didn't last.

It seems to be getting worse, I had one call show up seven times.

Same here.  Earlier this morning.  Had a call repeated seven times.   I haven't had recent calls later today, so we will see what happens next.

I sent a Tweet (i.e through Twitter) to our Wisconsin division.  You can sign in or Log into Twitter and do the same:

They suggested a box reboot. (What else?)  Come to think of it though, I recall an issue like this a few years ago and a box reboot fixed it, so will try later.  If you do a box reboot and it fixes this, let me know.

Rebooted,

Same problem only worse!  Now many channels are gone!  I got a truck roll for Wednesday.

I did a reboot, now I need to wait for a call.

What channels are missing?

Too many to mention.  My guess is we have had power outages and storms about a month ago and some water or crap got into one of the cable lines causing all of this.  I'll bet its the main drop.

Mine is still screwed up, but it's only logging the calls five times each.

How long do you think the tech will be there before they say you need to do a box swap?

Luckily I cleared off the DVR.  Another user at AVS has also reported the Caller ID on TV issue.  I just want it taken care of, that's all.

The channels seem to be back now.  Have not tested Caller ID.
