    Are you asking for Cox to pay for your Netflix subscription? If so, why you are at it, can you get them to pay my electric bill too? XD If not, it could be because I can't understand your post. You didn't use one single mark of punctuation, making it difficult to understand. Could you please correct?

  • Hi Sbm1971,

    Netflix billing through Cox will soon be available to some Contour 2 customers. Stay tuned for more details and the launch announcement!

    Really? Why? Anyone that wants Netflix would have already had a subscription by now. Also, Netflix and ANY streaming service through Contour is going to be absolutely garbage IMO. Contour runs on cable boxes, which have low power CPU designed for basic stuff like the guide UI, not process heavy video decoding. Save yourself the trouble and buy a Roku, or better yet a Chromecast and stream from your PC. 

    PS. Does Streaming Netflix on a cable box count against your same data cap? 

  • All content viewed through the Netflix app on your Contour 2 receiver is streamed over the internet and counts toward your data usage.

    Thanks for the answer. Having it not count against the cap was the only reason I could think of to make the feature useful. Why pay Cox for Netflix when you can watch Netflix, either using the Netflix app or Contour app, just by paying Netflix? I wouldn't want my Netflix to stop if I had to move out of the Cox service area. I assume Cox is going to get a cut of any subscription for Netflix made through them?

    its called 3rd party billing it for those of us who do not have debit cards attached to a checking account not everyone can get or wants a checking account not to come off rude or wants to have Netflix say come out in the middle of the month

      The less bills I have to remember to pay the better. I already combine bills with other companies for this reason. I hope this becomes available soon.

        Someone said its out at Netflix. And  because Netflix is tell us it is and that false advertising on there part? I called to subscribe they saw I had a Cox email told me I could call you and put it on my Cox cable bill after they asked me if I had contour 2.0. you need to have then pull off the website Cox billing info as its false advertising not a good thing for you to let them false advertise
