Hi Dolce, it sounds as if the TV is forcing you to use the Samsung interface rather than the Cox on-screen Guide. The Samsung remote should be paired with the TV. The Cox remote should be paired with the Contour 2 receiver. First, make sure that your TV is powered on and set to the input for the Contour 2 receiver. Also, ensure there is a direct line-of-sight between the remote and the Contour 2 receiver. Follow the "Clear Programming" steps displayed in the article at
www.cox.com/.../pairing-or-unpairing-the-contour-2-remote.html. Then, follow the steps to pair the remote with the receiver. This should allow you to access the on-screen Guide (by pressing the remote Guide button) as well as the On Demand menu (press the Contour button on the remote, navigate to On Demand, and then press OK). Please let us know if this successfully restores the functions of the Cox remote. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
