Not sure about Contour DVR
I upgraded to the Record 6 Contour from the PassportRecord2 about 2 weeks ago:
Issues that I hope someone can help with:
1) my box shuts off when not in use - it's a small thing but I have to turn it on every time I turn the TV on
2) Please tell me there is a way to alphabetize the DVR Recording and the DVR Series' - I HATE not being able too
3) In 'upcoming' recordings will it tell me if there is a conflict?
Thank you

1. Under Settings/Receiver/Power Manager you can select Auto off when idle or Manual.
2. Not that I know of ... AFAIK, the series screen is in priority sequence, when a conflict occurs the 2/6 shows higher in the list get recorded, others are ignored. You can manually reorder it thereby changing priorities but I haven't found a way to just sort it.
3. No, I have a thread about that & have spoke to Cox CS management about this issue. When you do series recording the Contour guide doesn't inform you of conflicts or what won't be recorded, like the old Passport guide did. It won't let you manually schedule a conflict but is dumb when it comes to series conflicts.

SETTINGS -> RECEIVERS -> POWER MANAGER -> RECEIVER POWER -> POWER OFF MANUALLY
Contour DVR "2) Please tell me there is a way to alphabetize the DVR Recording and the DVR Series' - I HATE not being able too."
No. A future upgrade, perhaps???
Contour DVR: "3) In 'upcoming' recordings will it tell me if there is a conflict?"
Contour won't let you program conflicts, except those involving series recordings.
