Sports apps,TV & Movie apps not working???

Actually I have been running these apps for years without problem but in the past 2 weeks all these apps have stopped working.  Apps included are Foxsportsgo, Foxsports, Foxnow, ESPN, NBC, ABC, NFL Network, NBA.com and TNT, all requiring a activation code to connect with Cox.  None of them work.  I can get ESPN+ because it does not require activation only a subscription, but it will not give me any regular ESPN content.  The best I get is "This Network is not included in your current television subscription."  Even though I get the channels on my TV.  Says contact  provider which I have tried and all I get is evasive answers on online chat and disconnections when I tried to call.  I don't know what gives with this.  Something has happened in last 2 weeks and I am not getting any answers.
