Cox Contour is garbage. We can never get shows recorded on the DVE to be watched outside of the house. What’s the point t of using it if I am at home and I can just watch on my TV.

    Hi @AZ Tempe,

    We have two kinds of DVR's: A Cloud DVR that requires the rental of our Panoramic Wifi Modem, and a regular DVR which physically stores your content on the cable box. When you have the regular DVR you are not able to access your content outside of your home. When you have the Cloud DVR you are able to access your content with your Contour App. Here is a link for more information: www.cox.com/.../dvr.html .
