DRM preventing viewing of most channels in Las Vegas market
I have a cablecard that I use with HDHomeRun, and within the past couple of months, I lost about 90% of my channels. I finally had time to troubleshoot, and it now appears that COX has implemented DRM on most channels apart from those available OTA/Local.
There was a thread with others experiencing the same problem in several other markets early this year, and it appears their problems were eventually resolved by some action on COX's end.

I'm hoping the problem can also be resolved for the Las Vegas market - otherwise my channel package is pretty much useless and I'd might as well cancel.
I went through the steps in that thread to check if re-scanning my lineup would resolve the issue, but that had no affect.
Here's a screenshot from my HDHomeRun Lineup showing how most of the channels are DRM locked. Obviously, I don't expect HBO and some other channels to be available, but out of 611 channels received, I can only actually view somewhere around 30 currently, and a good number of those are duplicates. Definitely was getting far more a few months ago.
