Re: DRM preventing viewing of most channels in Las Vegas market
Tiffany R is posting the same canned repose on all queries regarding Cox's decision to impose DRM on all channels.. As far as I can tell, there is no legal requirement that they do so,. This appears to be a policy decision by cox to freeze out a certain group of its customers..7Views1like0CommentsCox has put DRM on all channels in Tulsa AGAIN
Six months ago, my Silicon Dust home Run stopped working on most channels because COX had suddenly flagged all channels with DRM except the locals A week after I queried this, things went back to normal. Now it's happened again. This is very frustrating. I can't see that its official policy because, if it was, they wouldn't change them back? But if its not official policy WHO keeps messing with the DRM settings every few months? Please change them back again.

Thanks Crystal. I did a rescan and also reset everything. I can stillonly get my local channels. I noticed after the rescan that all channels except the locals are now labeled "DRM," which theyweren't before thecodec change. Cox appear to havechanged all the channel flags when it converted the streamsfrom Mpeg 2 to whateverit is now.As I understand it, the HD homerun viewing app is DRMcompliant, so it should allow me to view the channels even if the flag to stop recording is set. . This has apparently happened to a lot of HD homerunusers during the conversion. forum.silicondust.com/.../viewtopic.php1View0likes0CommentsCox Tulsa - all channels except local have disappeared on my Silicon dust HD Homerun,
I am NOT attempting to record things, just to watch TV on my PC using the HD Homerun viewing app, something which worked fine until Cox started the upgrade from MPEG 2 the the new format . I've read some posts stating that Cox has set a DRM "no record" flag on everything but local channels, but the HD home run software is supposed to be DRM compliant, and should not ha a problem with watching, as opposed to recording, TV . I contacted Cox, who gave me the usual "nothing wrong at this end" speech. Anyone have any ideas? This is about this last straw with COX for me. Everything was working fine, and they go and mess it up, and deny having done so. . I have two PCs I occasionally use to watch TV . My Cox bill is already over $300 a month, and I am not going to pay them $20 a more or two more boxes..2.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: tunein/BBC failures
The message is "we didn't find any playable streams" Thanks for testing. As it works both from CA and my UK proxy, I think Cox may be doing something silly locally. Last week they blocked access to webmail from outside the US for a couple of days without any explanation.0Views0likes0Commentstunein/BBC failures
Can another cox subscriber in the Oklahoma area do a quick test for me? My access to BBC stations via Tunein suddenly stopped last week. I can access them buy using my UK proxy, but not using Cox . The BBC insists they are nor geo-blocking the streams . Tune-in has not responded to my queries. Could someone go to http://tunein.com/radio/BBC-Radio-4-935-s25419/ And see if they can hear a radio stream please.2.1KViews0likes2Comments
