Contour 2 resolution and audio settings
During setup I setup the contour 2 box for 1080p and Dolby 5.1 within the setup menu. These settings work just fine but when I get up in the morning the resolution and audio settings revert back to 7...

I have same problem with switch back to 720p and stereo audio. This seems to be totally related to the cable box and not anything to do with your other connected equipment. Surprised Cox doesn't have a firmware fix for this. Seems like a sneaky thing to do overnight that probably benefits Cox by creatign lower bandwidth utilization on their network.
Seems like the Arris box doesn't have the problem. Nice to know that's the solution - but they should warn people about this and see if it is a problem with their system and if they care. My wife and my parents can't tell 720p from 1080i/p but I certainly can. And I can tell stereo from Dolby. You're paying for the equipment that can do this and you just get crippled hardware from your expensive cable service. Not good.
They just switched out my cable box last month due to an issue with the signal coming from the road. Now I have re-populated a lot of my DVR shows and the solution will be to "replace the box with an Arris and lose your DVR'd programs". Wonderful.
