It's a pointless discussion.  Cox doesn't alter programs.  If they did, they'd have to engage with studios, compete with other providers for a deal, buy a license, select the correct aspect ratio, decode, alter, error check, encode, get approval from post-production houses, etc.  Netflix does all that.  Cox just delivers what's produced.

Cox also stores the same program for on-demand.  When an episode of Game of Thrones broadcasts, Cox copies it to a video server and it's probably available within a few hours or the next day.  They don't edit it.  Heck, if they did, why not emblazon a Cox logo on it or give themselves a credit.

Why DD+?  It's a lossy format.  If you're so persnickety about sound quality, why not ask for Dolby TrueHD?  Forget audio, why not ask to improve the video:  1080p, higher dynamic range, deeper color bit rate or reduced color compression?

Cox doesn't alter programs.  The Internet handles more data.  And your home theater stinks if you can distinguish the center channel from the rest of the soundfield.
