If you've only replaced boxes, everything should work.
You disconnected and removed your previous Internet modem and router.
Replaced previous Internet modem and router with Panoramic.
Replaced the 2 cable boxes.
Is the Panoramic and a Contour box in the same room, such as your Living Room?

Yes, thats what I thought as well. I replaced my old receivers with Contour & replaced my router with the Panoramic. I thought it was simple plug, and play.
One is, the other is not in the same room.

What about your previous Internet modem?
Was your previous modem & router an all-in-one device or 2 separate boxes?

all in one It had ethernet ports on back, and it had the flashing lights in the front.

I have a silly question. Why would I have ethernet cables attached to the back of the router? I did not do this set up originally so I'm not sure. I do have ethernet in my rooms with cable in the wall. I don't have any thing plugged into them (in the rooms), just the router.

Perhaps whoever set up your previous all-in-one router just created connections to these other rooms. If nothing is connected to the other end of these cables in the other rooms, it's no big whoop.
Is the Ethernet cables from the router connected to LAN ports on a nearby wall? Even though you're not using 'em, it's a good setup.
