PAC-12 Channel with Mini Box, Cox TV Essential

I am having the same problem along with one of my neighbors.   We both have new mini boxes in the last week and both have Cox TV Essentials package.   There is no message on screen when we try to access those channels.   When trying ch. 75 Pac-12 it goes to ch. 74 and when trying 76 it goes to 77.   

I can access Pac-12 through an iPad app.   It asks me to select my cable provider and login.   Then it works fine.   That shows that I am qualified to receive that channel with my cable subscription.   We would really like to get this working on the TV with the Mini Box.

Hi lspeak,    

Since your market is in the middle of the all-digital transition, the Arizona PDF channel lineup on cox.com is not up-to-date. However, channel 75 PAC-12 Arizona and 76 Univision Deportes are denoted by the Δ  symbol. This indicates that the channel requires either an Advanced TV Receiver, Contour Receiver or Cox provided CableCARD™ together with a certified compatible CableCard retail device. Here's a link to the current PDF in your area: http: //bit. ly/1RllzVM.  I understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Simple price gouging for Cox economy customers--the only way to get the channels you originally subscribed to is to add an $8 box to each TV.  I can't wait for a streaming alternative in my area.
