HD channels with Contour
We had 2 dvr cable boxes replaced with a Contour box today. When we select a channel, it does not switch to the HD channel like it did with the old boxes. Is there something we need to do to get it to work like it did?

In Phoenix we have 2 channels available for every broadcast. There is channel 100 which is not HD. Then we have channel 1100 which is HD. You can press the COX button in the center of the remote. Go up to Settings. In the Settings, go to Set Skipped Channels. Enter 100 (non HD). Now the only option is for your tv to go to the HD channel at 1100. (unless you manually enter 100 on the remote).
Someone might have a better suggestion because your Contour box should easily provide you with HD viewing. I have had my Contour box for 2 years and seldom watch anything but HD.

The Contour IPG doesn't have the basic feature of an auto-switch to HD. Even the simple minibox will automatically select the HD channel but not the Contour . One work-a-round is if you are on a SD channel, pressing the Info button followed by the "A" button will switch to the HD feed. Not as convenient as the auto-switch but it does work.
