Re: Contour for Apple TV
10 days later. Wish I were surprised. Please let me know what you have done about finding out about Contour for AppleTV and the issues I have described above. It would be great to have someone in Dev or Mgmt post here or contact me directly. I'm MUCH more interested in having Contour for AppleTV than having my Spike issue resolved, and I am genuinely interested in why this can't be done. I look forward to the day I can use AppleTV to access Cox (thru the channel guide!), Netflix, Sling, and Amazon content.3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Contour for Apple TV
I didn’t expect you or Stephanie (or whoever gets this response) to know the answer. I’ve asked both times for someone to forward this to management or development – asking me if I want you to do this gives me the impression you didn’t read my post. Please forward this to development/management or the appropriate person/department at Cox. Hope that is clear enough. The only way to reproduce my Spike issue is to create an account that matches mine exactly (troubleshooting 101). This means creating an account that has the TV Starter package from the Santa Barbara market. After that try watching Spike thru Contour on any Apple device (except AppleTV!). Then try installing the Spike app on the same device and try again. Let me know the results. Thanks.3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Contour for Apple TV
Well, at least this is a new meaningless answer - it's proprietary! When Apple announced their new AppleTV yesterday, they also announced it would soon support Amazon's streaming service. This is what reminded me of the inability of Cox to release a compatible app and prompted me to challenge Cox on the forum. Your response is just another failure to address the problem/question. In regards to getting access to Spike, I already wasted enough time on this - it doesn't work and Cox knows about it. Instead of asking your customer to pursue this, why doesn't someone (like whoever gets this response) take the time and effort to find out what is going on? The "you should have access to all the TV Starter channels when applicable" response is not helpful. Of course I should have access! Again, both for me and on behalf of many of your customers, we want to know what the plans are to release a compatible app for AppleTV. This is yet another reason Cox is losing customers. Forward to management and try again.2Views0likes0CommentsContour for Apple TV
Where is Contour for AppleTV? I have seen this question posted for over a year and the answer from Cox representatives is always the same - we don't have it and we'll let you know. As an example, the TV Starter package in my area includes SpikeTV, which I found out is unusual. I can watch Spike thru Contour on my iPhone or iPad, but the standalone SpikeTV app does not work and says I don't have a subscription. Because Contour isn't availalbe for AppleTV, I can't watch Spike on AppleTV. Contacted Cox and after some back and forth (including Cox trying to blame Spike), I was told my situation was unusual and there were no plans to fix it. Get it together Cox! Been a customer for over 25 years. Time to do something about this. Don't want to hear the typical meaningless answer. Get someone in development or management to respond with either an explanation or a date. Thanks.19KViews0likes8CommentsAdvanced TV required for Cablecard?
I am a Cox customer in Santa Barbara and have had a cablecard for years. I downgraded my service today to TV Starter and my service stopped working. After a couple of calls, I was told I needed to add Advanced TV to my package in order to use the cablecard. This doesn't sound right and I wanted to verify. Please let me know if this is true. Thanks.1.3KViews0likes1Comment
