ROVI out??
I am reading almost 1 year old forums about ROVI being phased out and all ROVI TV receivers being 'Retired'. Why do I only get this OLD NEWS from this COX forum?? 2 weeks ago I first read about RO...

All "outdated" receivers have Rovi. I don't think a lot of users knew what Rovi was unless they watched their cable-box reboot. Maybe they did...I can't remember...Rovi may have been emblazoned in the Guide somewhere.
Anyway, it's not that Rovi is outdated. It's that your cable-box is outdated because it can't decode the low-bandwidth compression of MPEG4 programs...that's why you're missing channels...and I’m sure Cox no longer wants to keep paying the licensing fees to keep using Rovi.
I just swapped boxes and Contour is okay. I waited a long time to "upgrade" because Rovi was initially only available with DVR service. And it hate replacing something that worked.
GREAT...who at COX IT has SENIOR experience to view & acknowledge that unauthorized access to my TV broadcast, then Internet redirection has been occuring,,,,,,acknowledgement.....not trouble...and you do not pick & choose what channels to remove on a daily or weekly basis, And if I have no notice about rovi or receivers until my April invoice...how do you guys 11+ months ago comment about it????
