Contour Xi6 receiver - screen goes black randomly

My parents have a Contour Xi6 receiver - their only cable box.  Every other day or so, the screen goes black for 30 seconds and then comes back to life.

I've tried another HDMI cable and it didn't help.

Their setup is very simple.  Coax comes in from outside straight into the back of their Technicolor CGM4331 (aka PW7) Panoramic gateway - no splitters.  From there it is Ethernet to the Xi6 receiver (no Wi-FI).  From there HDMI to the TV.  All wired end to end no wireless.

Any ideas?  Calling tech support I am having a hard time getting them to understand that the screen just intermittently goes black.  Thanks!

Hello. I'm sorry to hear that they've been having this issue with the cable service. Contour equipment does a daily update that may be causing this to occur. Here are the instructions to find and adjust the time that this occurs. https://www.cox.com/residential/support/managing-contour-settings-preferences.html 

If this does not resolve the issue, please email us with a link to this thread so that we can investigate it further. Please include your name, their name and their address in your email to cox.help@cox.com You can also find us on Facebook and X.
