The forums say some people have it and some people don't have OnDemand on their TiVo's in Phoenix. Phone reps have said its available. TiVo Website says its available on a blog post but then in the support documents it's only available in one zip code. 4 techs have been out to my house and they state "it should be working." TiVo support said in the morning it is available and in the afternoon it wasn't. Cox twitter support said they could get it working but then said if TiVo said it wasn't available it wasn't available. So is it available or not. I am really tired of being told its available and it's not. Xfinity had it for years and it worked great. Heck at this point Xfinity/Comcast is looking like a better company than Cox, and that is saying something!

Hi Tallbubba, I know you've been through quite an ordeal trying to get Cox OnDemand working with your TiVo, and I truly apologize! Would you allow us another attempt to get it working before you finalize your decision to switch providers? Are you still getting the error code V205? I believe I can get to the bottom of this for you!

Yup. Tivo says its because I am not in the Zip code listed on their wesbite as having the service active.

tallbubba said: Yup. Tivo says its because I am not in the Zip code listed on their wesbite as having the service active. If your TiVo still has the Xfinity VOD App installed that could be an issue, assuming it is the same TiVo. If so TiVo needs to remove the Xfinity VOD App and reinstall or reset the CoxVOD App. All of the Phoenix area should already be working. What is the TiVo Model? Only Premiere, Roamio and Bolt support Cox OnDemand. Series 3 and TiVoHDs do not. Does the TiVo have the Cox OnDemand App?Go to Settings > Channels > My Video Providers > make sure Cox OnDemand is checked.If it is missing it is a TiVo Issue, Call TiVo Support and ask to have the CoxVOD flag reset for auto-discovery. Then perform a few TiVo Network connections. If the TiVo already has the Cox OnDemand App, what is the exact Error message displayed when attempting to access content.Take a picture and post the Error message, to better diagnosis. Also Call Cox @ 877-820-8202 and ask if you have the TiVo OnDemand flag settings on your account and CableCARD.Have your CableCARD Serial number available, PKxxxxxxx and also the MAC Address of the CableCARD. Both are available from the CableCARD Diagnostic, Diagnostic MenuSettings > Remote, CableCARD, & Devices > CableCARD Decoder > CableCARD options > CableCARD Menu > Diag Screen If the Cox person does not know what you are talking about, thank them and call back.

1) How do i get rid of the XfinityVOD 2) Roamio Pro 3) Cox VOD is checked. 4) Error Code : When i try to load a video that is has CVOD as an option i get V205. When I go into the CVOD app, I only get the myrentals folder and no other folders. 5) Cox says everything is go on there end, They want to bring out one of their tivo boxes to see if it is a line issue.

Hi Tallbubba, The members of the field team investigating this issue believe that getting to the "myrentals" folder indicates the Cox authentication process has completed successfully. We've looped in our TiVo contacts and have a conference call later today. We will update you as soon as we have more info!

1) Are you saying the XfinityVOD app is still showing? If so Call TiVo support, only they can remove the XfinityVOD app.

Cox made some major changes to the Cox OnDemand App over the weekend, and it is not working very well at this time. Probably not the best time to be troubleshooting it.

Cox did a major reorganization of the content folders, "MyPrimetime" and "Freezone" has been replaced with "TV"

Even my Cox OnDemand is failing to load correctly, most of the time.

I am getting the same C501 Error on Cox OnDemand, most of the time, so it is not just you.

It is also causing the TiVo menus to show just a spinning blue circle, with a long delay, and then sometimes it times out and displays the C501 Error.

If the spinning blue circle, with a long delay is driving you crazy, uncheck Cox OnDemand until it gets fixed.
TiVo Central > Settings > Channels > My Video Providers > uncheck Cox OnDemand and the spinning blue circles should stop.

Hi Tallbubba,

Were you able to talk to TiVo? Error code C501 indicates an issue on the TiVo side of things. Does a reset clear the error?

Bryan and Andrew, reset your TiVos this morning and see if you get the same error code.

I'll pass on all of this new info to our Field team and report back with an update.
