Now this is very interesting. I just went to my Contour 2 and my guide is stuck like yours. For a full minute before, I was able to go up/down and the response was great. Then the next second, I got a notice on the TV that Cox is having problem so, the box started to reboot. Now it is still stuck, even when I did a hard power cord reset.
I noticed that this happened last week and after 2 days, everything recovered. Here is the other strange thing....I have 2 DVR's and my 2nd Contour 2 DVR box has NO Problem. Could it be the BOX? I changed the batteries last week when I had the problem the first time. I see other post on this forum, about channels stuck....no baseball for some! I also remember checking my ABOUT for my DVR, was v104.1.0 last week
