Good luck. Let us know how it works out.
The only thing I think you could try is going to the Cox Solution store and trade in your box for an Arris. Not sure they'll even do this and I'm not doing it because I have a bunch of shows DVR'd that I don't want to lose. My solution is to change the device back to 1080p and Dolby Digital sound when I wake up each morning.
Cox's solution is to always trade out your cable box. That is something that Cox really needs to address. With the rates I pay for TV Cable, I definitely don't feel I'm getting my money's worth. This is the sort of thing that causes customers to investigate other options when they might not otherwise have even considered it.
My sense is that doing this ratcheting down of the resolution might lighten the load on their cable network when folks watch in lower resolution and a lot of folks can't tell 720p from 1080p so they do it. I highly suspect this was something that was done "accidentally on purpose" by the cable companies and it benefits them somehow. .
