What does nu on the cable box mean?

It basically means the box is re-booting, if its a Scientific Atlanta box that is. If it says HAL2 boot or a spinning circle after that, no prob but if it shows four dashes and it's not a 8000 or if it is and shows for more than a few minutes, call the cable company because that means unauthorized or some kind of failure.
