How do I get Free Starz with Contour Self install
So I recently needed to upgrade my DVR to contour. The flyer in the mail stated that they would send someone out for free to install the box for me, OR I could self-install and get the channel STARZ for free for a certain period of time. Well, I set up the new box and never heard how to start the STARZ subscription. I have both emailed Cox and spoken to them over the phone and they have no idea what I'm talking about! Of course I tossed the flyer a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not sure it had extra information. If you search on this forum there are others in my position but the threads have been inactivated. Anyone have any idea how I activate STARZ?

I did a self install on 2 DVR boxes. Did get an email, probably tossed out by now. I ended calling the Subscription desk where they add programs to your account. I have STARZ for a year after which I will be charged, maybe $10. Was told that there will be no notification when charges start so it's up to me to watch my online account, especially if I don't want it. I had the package of 4 major programs that I canceled to reduce my costs. I have not regularly watched, but it's nice to get something free.

It seems like I may have selected the STARZ button on the email, but for some reason had to call because I did not see or was able to pick any stations on my TV. You may try doing a search of STARZ while in you email and look for the email, or look in your trash folder if it got deleted. Not sure how long an elapsed time they gave the free service....mine was around June, and I did it within a month of attaching my 2 Contour DVR's. My self install was basically remove the old, plug the new and return the boxes to Cox. Since I had 2, I think I got 2 emails....
