Contour TV Online - Flash Player retirement

Cox's Contour TV (https://watchtv.cox.com/listings) requires Flash Player to be enabled when accessed with Chrome. Adobe has announced Flash Player will be retired on December 31st, 2020. Does Cox have plans to migrate from Flash to open web technologies to maintain this website after Flash Player is retired? If not you will have hundreds of disappointed Cox Customer who use Contour TV on Chrome browsers. Thank you very much, I hope to hear a response soon. SIgned, Kind Of Anxious!

The Flash replacement was probably included in the same update made sometime around 11/18/2020 that allowed a mute setting to be retained when changing the channel.

I didn't say anything about a plugin. The switch to HTML5 was probably included in the website update I mentioned that occurred on or before 11/18/2020 and would have been the replacement for the Flash requirement.

Curious what Cox's plans are here. Flash has just over two weeks before it reaches end of life and Adobe has said that starting January 12th 2021 they are going to disable it entirely, blocking it from initiating playback at all. We definitely need some sort of update from Cox.
