It's worse than I thought. I've been at work so haven't been able to use it much. I recorded the game last night and tried to watch without any FF. It still freezes, then plays a little then freezes. I tried pausing a live show, same problem with that. Makes the DVR useless. I also discovered caller ID no longer shows up on the TV. Was professionally installed by COX tech 2 days ago. Any help would be appreciated.
If you powered off the DVR as Steve_A suggested and the same problem still happens it could be an issue with the DVR. Are you able to determine if the problem is in recording or playback? Does live TV play OK? If the problem persists, ask for an in-house Cox technician to check your signal, including at the pole. If the signal is not the problem, just ask for a replacement DVR now before you have a backlog of recordings that you will lose if/when you have to replace it. For the caller ID, try turning it off and back on again. You should also email cox.help@cox.com and include a link to this post. They will be helpful. Good luck.
