I don't know what it is about the cable boxes that Cox rents out to me, but every single one of them becomes defective within a year of having it. I have been a loyal Cox customer for over 20 years and the condition of the cable boxes and DVR receivers thst Cox rents out to me - every single one of them - becomes defective after a few months of usage and like the last two Contour 2 DVR receivers that I ended up signing up for after I was told by Cox I had to upgrade all of my services at higher prices with new rental Contour 2 DVR equipment to accomodate Cox's switch over to all digital formatting this latest one is now freezing on me one, two even three times a day forciing me to do constant signal resets. It always happens when I am scrolling through the Demand guide for too long looking for movies and tv shows. It is clear that the problem is caused by Cox connecting the Contour 2 receivers to the internet service I also have with Cox and the Contourr receivers quickly becoming outdated and worn out like outdated computers do when their disc drives become old and become outdated and begin to freeze up. Why Cox rents these used older model Contour receivers while charging ever increasing outrageous prices to +20 year loyal customers is beyond me. I HATE IT. Would any of you go to a store and buy a 2014 model computer for 2018 prices? I wouldn't, but that is what this situation parallels.
One other thing, Cox forced the all digital format on us a few months ago without any choice while raising prices om us, but then Cox broke the contract I had with them that I pay for in DVR recording and stations I pay for where non-formatted Standard definition older Tv programs and movies don't fit properly onto the tv screen and the ability to change the screen ratios of those non-HD formatted programs to fit the larger TV screen is now blocked by Cox. So. not only am I paying for another defective Contour 2 box, but I can no longer watch programming I paid for on the forced HD digital formats.
