XRE 03059 indicates a signal issue, or interference issue. reseat all cable connections on cable boxes, wall connections and internal splitters. ALSO, if you happen to have a BENT cable wire, replace it. Cable wires do not carry electrical signals, but RF signals, which can rebound or bounce backwards if there is a bent cable causing issues as well. If a cable is bent, replace it. 

These measures can help alleviate cable box/tv issues, if not, then you MAY need a technician to come out. If the issue is Cox Equipment, or the cable up to the home, it will be fixed or replaced at no cost to you. IF the issue is the wiring from the external audit box inwards to the home, then unless you have Cox Complete Care, (An additional charge for that service), there may be a trouble call charge to diagnose the issue and repair it.

MOST of the time, reseating cables, replacing old or bad cables, and splitters can fix these issues.
