Cox: "What we refer to as a minibox https://www.cox.com/residential/tv/learn/cox-tv-overview.html is a low-cost cable box allowing customers to receive standard Cox tv service with a simple guide. These boxes are not capable of 2-way communications. They are only able to receive signals from us they cannot send info back or communicate with our contour boxes. This prevents them from accessing on-demand content and some premium services and channels that are on contour boxes. Your welcome to share any of this information".
