Hi, Bruce. While Cox is thinking about those issues, you could tweak your workaround by tuning to the channel you want to be your power on channel and then tune to a different channel before you turn off the TV. (You're probably doing that). The channel you want would then be the next to last channel. If you forget to do that, you can press "Last" to tune to the last channel when you turn on the TV. (You probably do that , too). Or you could swap out that Contour 2 box and get a Contour 1 that actually has a working "Power On Channel" feature.
