I have Cox TV (Contour 1) so I can't help you with your question. But, if you don't mind me asking, was it your choice to switch to Contour or were you forced to do so by Cox? The reason I ask is to find out if Cox TV is still available to customers when a DVR has to be replaced. Thanks.
Several years ago I had a COX tech substitute a 2nd 6 tuner DVR for a simple cable box when he didn't have one on his truck to replace a bad one. That second DVR went bad last week, and when I tried to get a replacement at the Cox Store, they couldn't get their computer system to take the serial number of the replacement DVR. Somehow I had escaped the Cable TV Police for 5 years. So I went home and compiled my list of recordings over the weekend, and picked up the Contour 2 boxes this morning. I just turned in my good DVR this morning in Williamsburg VA. Not sure how many are still in use.
A fully functioning Cox TV Record 6 cable box is probably hard to come by these days. Contour offers a lot of features not available with Cox TV. But to record, playback and watch live TV, Cox TV is far superior. The cable box you had to turn in is the only receiver Cox has for Cox TV Record 6. I don't believe they're available any more for a new install. You probably hated to have to let it go, but I understand why you did. You are going to find a lot of the capabilities you had with Cox TV aren't availabe with Contour thoiugh. On the plus side, you're getting a lot of new capabilities.
