New DRM in Cox OC land?

Running a scan now after seeing this. Can confirm in the Omaha market, I’m seeing the DRM tag also remove from the channels as it scans through, very promising, but won’t hold my breath until I hear back on my escalation from the CableCARD team. 

In Tulsa it's still DRM for all non-local channels!  Any other markets still having this issue?

Yeah my HDHomeRun stopped too.  Does anyone know if this is becauseCox Switched to ATSC3.0?

siliconDust sells a new ATSC3.0 tuner for 199.00 if they did.

Also in Omaha and also using Plex and SD HDHRP. 

Same. I fired up my old Windows Media Center computer and confirmed. The CopyOnce flags as set will only work with TiVo and WMC. This needs to be fixed and reverted back ASAP. You would think Cox would want to retain us as customers...

We (in Orange County) previously received a notice that "Effective on or after 12/3/2020, we're making it easier to watch the channels you love.  We are removing the duplicate HD channels on 1000-1950.  You can still enjoy the programming previously on these channels by tuning into the lower 2 or 3-digit corresponding channel number."

So while my tuner is detecting the new 2 and 3-digit channels (in addition to the 1000+ channels that still appear to be there), all of them, except for locals, are now DRM'd (where they weren't before).  Please on behalf of those of us who are attempting to keep our costs down by running third-party tuners, un-DRM them (at least the 'basic' cable channels). Thank you.

Allan, it looks like this problem has been verified by several Cox users, and now it appears that it has been resolved.

Is there any way that you could give us some actual verified-by-Cox information about what they did and why?  This kind of thing costs each of us users many, many hours of troubleshooting and talking to Cox representatives that, frankly, don't know much.  Even the level 2 and level 3 support people didn't have a clue what was going on.

Even if us customers are kept in the dark, it would be useful to educate your support staff.  Imagine how much time could have been saved if THEY actually had a clue as to what was going on.

I'm in the same boat. No one at Cox (4 different calls to techs  in 2 days) knew anything about what I was talking about. The last tech (very patient and helpful) told me I knew more than he and other techs did about cable cards.

So now I can only record locals and nothing else. I sure hope this isn't a  money grab so that Cox is hoping we'll get more services and extenders because I already have phone, internet, Contour TV and 2 cable cards and I'm not buying anything else.  In fact, I just may cut the chord completely and go to streaming. 
Finally, weeks ago I got an email discussing checking to see if my cable card devices support mpeg-4 (no longer have the email so I'm going on memory) but nothing was mentioned that I would lose recording capabilities.  C'mon Cox, make this right.  It's been working for many, many years and this is simply wrong!

Please share whether you have any success.  It looks like Cox changing more channels to DRM has been a thing in the past in other markets and it doesn't really sound like the customers ended up happy.  Hopefully there's more than the canned response "as part of our agreements with the content providers..."
