Loss of Remote functionality, Guide, Setting etc etc
Yesterday I was not able to access the guide on my main TV. Thinking an issue with that particular Box I went to another room and experience the same thing. The only things that works on the remove is the Power Button and UP-DN Channel. ( The remote is also set up to control the TV power on and volume and that works fine).
I also realized the same issue happens on all the Boxes ( 5). First thing did was to manually reset all the boxes but that did not do anything. So I called Tech Support and the lady she was very kind on trying quite few steps, reset, hard reset, remote re-program etc etc . She even put me on hold to ask a supervisor but the super had no solution. Only solution was to have a tech visit. The tech will not come till Friday late noon. In the mean time a useless TV.
I do not see what the tech is going to do at my home.. looking for a broken cable?? a bad connection in one of wall cox outlet?
The boxes are 2 week old. I was down again 2 weeks ago for a substantial loss of channel. Tech came, fix the cox ends inside and outside and still same problem. So they decided to swap out with new boxes. Here I'm 2 weeks later still with problems. Getting as bit frustrated with Cox, for the money I pay monthly I should not have to go trough this, Again.. ( Last time around the tech appointment was between 10:00 to 12:00 Sunday Am Tech did not show up till 3:00 Pm and was not finished till 7:00 Pm
Problem with Cox is that DO NOT HAVE A TECH TEAM ANYMORE !! they are all subcontractor... Some good some vary bad...........
My Problem is that the tech visit will not fix the problem; This is a programming- Central problem; these box have been re-programmed either by mistake or something. But here they are messing my time at home after a long day at work, I can not have dinner till they are done, I can not prepare things around the house. Cox have no clue how inconvenient the whole thing is, and especially since I know they are just buying time; the visit will not fix this problem.
According to the Tech support I talked to " There is no issue in the PV- San Pedro Region so..... Am I the only customer with the problem ?.
I know what will happen. Tech will come, check signal and will say OK ( because of the visit of two weeks ago). Will say will change all boxes again. Wait for other tech with new Boxes. Install 5 boxes set up all 5 boxes and then......?
Cox is running out of strikes...
