Tuning Adapters - Still Needed??
Hello fellow Cox Customers, well I am a very long time TIVO customer and still continue to be a TIVO customer because we simply like the TIVO user interface. As most of you are probably aware, we we...

We are very long time TIVO users as well, and received a vague email in November saying it was necessary that we swap out some of our current equipment for what was pictured. The email didn't state that it was a tuning adapter, but the image showed only one side of a piece of equipment, and the only thing that helped to identify it was the word Vecima. Most Cox employees seem to know far too little and only try to sell more. I visited two of the local Cox stores and neither of them claimed to know anything about the email. To make it even worse, one of them advised me to turn in my Cisco tuning adapter because it will no longer work and they would otherwise continue to charge us for it. We now have no tuning adapter and our Tivo Bolt is useless without an adapter. Cox is easily one of the worst big companies in America.
Most/all ISP are now dropping CC support. Tivo is dying/dead. Time to switch to something else.
If you select your location at https://www.cox.com/residential/tv/channel-lineup.html, you can open up the PDF version of the channel line up. The * indicated on the various categories indicate many switched digital or HD channels. They also may only broadcast some programs using the two way communication requiring a tuning adapter to do so. I certainly hope that helps. Cox will continue to support this until further notice, although some markets are not compatible. If you have any trouble or questions, please email us with a link to this thread at cox.help@cox.com.

What markets are not compatible and why? Isn't Cox going to switch to IPTV soon in all markets? Any market that is fiber I think has to be IPTV.
