Cox, this is embarrassing!

I signed up a month ago. My bill is already due and I still do not receive the service I'm paying for.

This whole process is being a huge mess. let's break down:

1) The promotional price on the website is a blatant lie. Try it yourself, and make to checkout page. You will never get the same price as announced (excluding boxes and modems)

2) I was promised free installation (it was on the front page: "Free installation with sign up"). Disclaimer: the house was pre-wire. The guy put the cable box on the shelf and plugged the HDMI I left hanging in there and left.

3) My TV still doesn't work. I chatted with Cox and the representative says that he will send somebody over, saying that if he's a Cox issue, the tech visit would be free. The technician walks in, says that I need a tuner adapter and leaves. It took 5 minutes and I got charged other $45 for that. Shouldn't the first installation guy (who came a week earlier) install the tuner adapter for me? So I drove to Cox and got one from them.

4) Trying to activate the Tuner Adapter: First call, representative sends activation signal and tell me to wait 15 minutes. I waited for 1 hour and called again. Second call, Cox hangs up on me within 10 minutes. Then, I try the chat. This one is too funny to explain, so this is a screenshot of my conversation. 

So, I already have a $200 bill with Cox and I still can't watch TV. I've already called technical support and customer service several times. I've spent at least 5 hours already taking care of this.

Can anybody help me?

Sent PM.

Let's try to get the billing fixed too. Why am I paying for a tech visit when he leaves after 5 minutes with the service still not working?

Thanks!

Update:

Chris received my account info this morning and passed it along in the Cox chain. And that was it.

Nothing has changed yet and I'm still without service. (I ordered it on March 8th)

Unfortunately, I have never given Cox the number you guys are trying to call. I don't know why this number is being called since you guys called me on cell phone past Sunday.

Normally we would try the number listed as the home number on your accont.  This may not necessarily be the service number if you have phone with us but rather a phone number of your choosing when your account was established or last updated.
