Re: Native video resolution change?
that happened in omaha. Then 3 months later our cable cards no longer work on non-local channels. My guess is the 1080 feed is the higher encryption DRM that the cable cards don't support. So it negotiates down to 720p. Enjoy it for now. It's going away.38Views0likes1CommentRe: New DRM in Cox OC land?
" We’re back to remind you about our service update that could impact your access to all your favorite shows. If you are using a CableCard in your laptop, PC, or Tivo you may be impacted. Here's what we need you to do: Tune into channel 1987 If you can see the program, great news, you’re good to go. If you can’t see the program, don't worry you have two options: 1) Check your device’s owner’s manual to see if an update to MPEG4 is supported. If so, just update. 2) Request a Contour box be shipped to you free. Or just pick one up from your nearest Cox Solutions Store—it’s totally free the first twelve months. After that, it’s just $8.50 to $10.00/month depending on which box you choose. If you’ve done this already, you’re all set. Channel Impact Schedule If you don't update your device or pick up a Contour box, you won’t be able to access any channels as early as mid-December and no later than mid-January."43Views0likes1CommentRe: New DRM in Cox OC land?
after some googling, you are right and probably not atsc3. Other cable companies have done this to their customers. I guess for now I can return the old junky hardware and save $5 a month and then just use the internet contour streaming app to watch tv on the computer.28Views0likes0Comments
