methos I am having the same issues. Two days ago I noticed my Contour DVR wasn't allowing me to set things to record. I contacted Cox and the representative I spoke with had no idea what the issue was or how to fix it. I had tried restarting & rebooting the DVR, which neither worked. The representative sent a signal to the DVR and that seemed to correct it. Then today, I turned it on to discover every single one of my set recordings were changed to cancelled and I can no longer get anything to set to record. I contacted Cox yet again. This representative had no idea what the issue was. He first said it could be a transmitter issue and then said it could be an update issue. He said he sent a signal to the box, which did nothing. I now have a service ticket in and a 48 hour wait for a response. I don't believe it has anything to do with the box itself but something on their end. It would be nice to speak to someone who has some kind of inkling as to what is going on.
