"Heroes & Icons" is a digital multicast television network broadcast as a supplementary service to other stations on their subchannels. It was made possible by the conversion of analog to digital television which left room for additional services to be broadcast from additional transmitters. The programming runs on a low budget using archived content. The audio out-of-sync with video issue most likely originates from the transmission source. That's why it only occurs on the one channel and on all your TVs. You're probably receiving content as it was transmitted. It's unlikely you'll correct the issue by resetting boxes or adjusting settings. Cox might be able to contact the network and report the issue. Contact cox.help@cox.com and include your full name, the service address and a link to this forum discussion.

The problem went away for a few days and now it's back the cox help is trying to say this is my equipment or lines!!!
How did Cox communicate with you? Email? Phone? Chat? Specifically, what did they say? Did they try to replicate the issue or contact the broadcast station?
The problem with reporting issues for this type of channel is that most customers don't subscribe to a package that includes it. Few customers with access to the channel will be viewing it when a sync issue occurs. Of those, most won't bother reporting. In the past, I've noticed Cox has explained issues with a low number of reports to be customer specific. It's difficult to prove otherwise if Cox can't replicate the issue.

Hello,
My sincere apologies for the continued audio issue. I understand it's frustrating when the issue is resolved and it comes back. What I would like to do is schedule for a Cox technician to check our equipment and the lines. The soonest I can get them out would be for Monday the 29th between 3 pm and 5 pm or 5 pm to 7 pm .
