Response time of Contour 2 box?
I'm curious what the normal response time to pushing buttons on the remote. For example, when viewing the guide and you press page down, how long should it take to populate the next page?

Due to the numerous amounts of outside factors to affect the remote response time. I would like to you to disconnect the coaxial cable and the power cord wait for 3 minutes, and then reconnect the coaxial cable first and then the power cord. Crystal
Could I please repeat my original question? What is the normal response time supposed to be? As I mentioned, I have resolved a major response time problem. Response time is much better. But now I would like to know what is supposed to be normal. For example, when pressing page down on the guide page, how long should it take to populate all rows? Or when selected recorded programs, how long should it take to display all recorded programs?
Mine is taking 1 to 3 seconds for those examples, which is quite possibly normal. But I don't know what normal is supposed to be.
tomb933, as I've posted earlier, I have had this problem. But all is well now, but I will remember to try the cable reset as well as a power cycle. I did not do anything other than a cycle of power. My 2nd DVR had no problem when this 1st one was have issues, so COX implied there could be a box problem or like you said, resetting the line.....have not moved these lines in a long time so how they um-tighten is beyond me.
As to my times....when good, using a single up/down on the guide is a second or less....almost like a scroll. Using the page up/down, it takes about 1-2sec or less to populate the 2 lines of missing entries. When I was having problems, it would stay there for 5-10sec or more, then quickly catch up. Another user has a thread about the guide not even changing at all....got to be the box.
Thanks, sounds about like what I've been seeing. For page up/down 5-10 seconds when I was having problems, 1-2 seconds now.
I don't think anyone has ever timed the responses. However, I would say, the response times shouldn't have any noticeable delay. If you page-down the program guide, the rows should already be populated with programming.
