I tried to watch an episode of a show on HBO last night, which was scheduled to air later in the day. I was unable to select that specific show to watch, yet all other episodes were available. FYI, the episode was from a few weeks ago so it was not something new that very well could be restricted.
Attempting to watch True Detective, season 3 episode 4 on Sunday night. First time I tried, it showed me that it was already in progress on HBO2 and all i could do was join in progress, unable to start from beginning. I tried again an hour later, after that live episode had finished, and I was also unable to watch that episode because there was another scheduled viewing later that night.
It sounds like a bug because there is no logical reason to not play. I'm glad I stuck with Rovi.
Is there an option with Contour to ignore "Live" suggestions while browsing on-demand?
I read the options to watch on-demand. There are 4 options to watch...based on if it's a rental or not...but if you're seeing Watch, it should play.
The bug could be if Cox, or whoever, tagged episode-4 as a rental, so Contour is suggesting More Ways to Watch. Nothing you can do but wait for someone to fix it...or stream it via HBO Go. I have it on my Roku.

Yes, I did watch it via another device. Was just annoying that I had to do that. On Demand should mean just that, and not be impacted by the fact that it was viewing live at some point in that day.
