Contour Problems

Ever since Cox had done the software upgrades 1 1/2 - 2 months ago, my service has been terrible. My recordings quit 1/2 way thru and are not recoverable. This does not happen on all, but a good majority of them. I have problems with picture and sound when the station I am watching goes from local commercials back to the program I am watching. I get no picture and the sound is jumbled. Sometimes it comes back and sometimes it doesn't. Wow, another bad recording. On an average of twice a week, when I go to my recorded list and it says it's not available at this time. Then I have to reboot the machine (sometimes twice) in order to watch my recorded programs. I would blame this on the DVR itself, but it affects both of my machines the same way. Before the software upgrades, I had not problems with either machine. If a tech is reading this. Either you need to find a software patch to solve these problems or restore my machines to the software they had before the upgrades. Update: I am watching my recording of NCIS I recorded from USA today and the sound is jumbled and I don't have a picture after the local commercials were finished. I'm really getting tired of this and if Cox does not fix this problem, I will consider it a breach in the 12 month deal I just made and see what Century Link has to offer. My email and contact information is listed with my account profile and I would greatly appreciate it if someone would get in touch with me. it's a lot easier than going thru the call in process and waiting for one of you before my cell phone battery dies.

Hi TiffanyR - thank you for your reply The splitter that I use is the one that was installed by Cox tech when he set me up. it comes off the main line and splits to the living room (main DVR) and the other side of the wall to the Master Bedroom (Slave DVR - I don't know the proper name for that unit). Are you saying for me to isolate the signal to the living room and cut off the other unit? This is the same splitter that I was using before the software change and I wasn't having these problems then.

Do you have this problem on live programming? Does it happen on both TVs?
