Cox Equipment Upgrade?
I received the famous email from Cox saying I had to upgrade my equipment or lose service. Went to the Cox store and they were clueless but put in an order. A tuning adapter arrived in the mail. I have a Tivo with a cable card and have not used a tuning adapter in years. Returned it long ago. I took my Contour 2 tuner to the store and they took it and said to keep the remote because the tuning adapter did not include one. At this point I have the new tuning adapter, the remote from the old Contour box and a cable card. If we do not need a tuning adapter now, are we really going to need this one?
New Tuning Adapter constantly rebooting Tivo
I just received the new Vecima tuning adapter and originally had issues activating it. Had a Cox tech come out and got it sort of "working". Hours after he left, I turned on the TV and it caused my Tivo to reboot. Once it rebooted, it couldn't see the tuning adapter. If I leave it connected to the Tivo, I noticed it rebooted a bunch of times (it interrupted some recordings). If I leave the Tivo and Vecima unplugged for 5 minutes and then plug them in, it will connect. As soon as I went into the Tuning Adapter diagnostics, I can see the firmware is 1.8.0 and after 2 button presses it rebooted my Tivo again and the tuning adapter is again not showing up. Do the reboots ever stop? I can't keep it connected if it constantly keeps rebooting and stopping my recordings.Follow up to Cox notice
I recently posted a question about an equipment update from COX. A moderator, DannyS replied that the update involved new Tuning Adaptors. Strangely, DannyS disabled replies, so I'll start another thread with my follow up questions. As stated in the original post, my tuning adaptors were updated about a year ago. Are you really going to update them again or is this an error. I finally got a hold of a real person at Cox. She stated that the update involves new Cable Card, not Tuning Adaptors. She seemed to know what she was doing and was fully aware of the fact I had new tuning adaptors. She has send me two now cable cards. So... What's really going on? Thanks,Boot issues
Anyone else experiencing Boot issues with Arris receiver ..I have had this issue numerous times, (5 so far this month). It usually gets resolved every time I login and restart. But not the case today. There is a low signal 720 x and the correct signal 1920 came through for a millisecond. Ok . just came on. Was off for 3 hours... What's happening Cox?
Tuning Adapter (High-Split) Converter Problem
I have a TV ROAMIO that has been used without problems with a tuning adapter for 9 years. A few months ago I was sent a new High Split Converter (HSC-1-H) and I installed it and it worked without issue for 2 months. At 2 am a week ago, I could not receive any channels. When I unplugged the HSC tuning adapter - everything returned to normal. I replaced the Cable Card - no effect A COX tech spent 2 hours in my house and was unable to find the problem. He verified that all my wiring, splitters, and signals to the unit were fine. He replaced all the cable and splitters. I replaced with TIVO with a new ROAMIO - No change - Nothing will work once I plug in the Tuning Adapter. COX sent me a new Tuning Adapter (HSC) and everything worked for about 24 hours - then, once again at 2 am - the problem returned. No channels unless I unplug the tuning adapter. I have changed all the USB cables, twice, changed every component in the system, twice, and watched the COX tech work on the problem for 2 hours - Nothing. I have an open support ticket, but no one ever updates the status. Any suggestions? Firmware updates?
Why did my DVR stop recording certain episodes of shows set to series recording?
I have several television shows set to series recording, and recently noticed that I’m missing weeks of recordings. I have the TV shows The Voice, Abbot Elementary, etc set for series recording and it’s skipped 4 to 5 episodes and picked up weeks later after all of those missing recordings. When I attempt to play the recordings, they are only available on Peacock so I just was forced to pay for subscription to Peacock. If I want to watch my shows, why is that so when I pay for Cox Cable already and was able to record in the past? Help, I called Cox and was told that it’s something to do with the actual TV channel prohibiting me from recording, but I for Service and expect to be able to record so where’s my refund? lol help fix this
Webco advertisement when tv turned on
When the tv is first turned on, a Webco advertisement appears rather than going to a tv channel. It is supposed to go away with the push of any button on the Contour remote, but it doesn't. None of the buttons do anything. We have to just wait for up to 2 minutes for the channel to come on. We've set the privacy and notification preferences, but nothing changed.
