TV Guide and TV shows
I just want to know why the person in charge of writing the TV guide and putting what movies and shows and sports on at what time , can not do his job correctly ?????? I will explain I recorded game 2 of the NBA finals that was in the guide at midnight so this is the second showing , I got home from work before the recording started and sports news was on , 1st thing play that show after the game is done because I want to watch the game without knowing who won and what happened they show the highlights and who won that's ** what's worse the TV guide said the game started at 12 , it did not start till 1 am , I also record movies days ahead and when I go to watch them later it is a totally different movie than it said , and last but not least quit playing 20 year old movies over and over your old motto was you will have Friday , Saturday , and Sunday to watch this movie *** no it plays all month the month after and then 2 more straight months 400 times total and this is what I am pay $209 a month for , BS
So here is a simple solution to fix these simple problems that not only I have with my 15years + years of being a cox customer but others too.
(1) Fire or put the TV guide programmer in a different position ,
(2) put newer movies and shows on , and don't play them like HBO does over and over all month that is what DVR's are for .
(3) Quit forcing upselling stuff like you mini boxes and *** like that all digital my **** my mini box pauses the program just like the day all digital TV started when the AZ cardinals played the Steelers in the super bowl what a messed up game always freezing the screen .
(4) ALL the new little stuff like mini boxes should be free not for 1 year for for ever for long time customers .
OH YES GET RID OF THE FREAKING COMMERCIALS OR CUT THEM IN 1/2

Was there a question to your post? Cox doesn't write the guide data or decide what shows come on each channel. Are you seriously asking Cox to "stop commercials"? Commercials.. something that has been part of TV since before Cox was even a company... While their at it, can Cox stop hackers and spam and world hunger?

Dear Cox,
Please also come up with the cure for AIDS if you're magically fixing everything now

Cox populates the on-screen Guide with information provided to us by the TV broadcasters. We work closely with all networks and provide our on-screen programming guide content exactly as it is received from our broadcasting partners. Mistakes are made, however; especially if the network makes a last-minute change and fails to let us know. These changes are completely outside of Cox's control.
Cox does not produce content; we simply rebroadcast content. Each TV Network determines what content they want to deliver to their viewers and when they want it delivered. Cox has no control over the shows and movies that Broadcast Networks decide to air. Programming on each channel is completely controlled by the owner of each TV network.
