Re: Data Light Yellow
I get that message also. I believe that I have a contour 2 box! I did turn off the power saver for one night and when I turned on the TV the next day the yellow light did not come on. Now I leave the power saver set to on and when I turn on the TV the next day the yellow light is on so, I go to power lights brightness and click it and the yellow light flickers and goes off for the rest of the day as long as the power saver does not take effect if the TV is off for 4 hours.1View0likes0CommentsRe: Data Light Yellow
Do you mean the contour cable box when you say DVR? Might try your suggestion and see what happens over the long term but will be using more power if I leave the contour cable box on all of the time( at least that is what Cox says.) Still wonder why this just started happening on Nov. 1 of this year. Never saw the yellow light(maybe it was on when the system was updating between 2 and 4 AM) before this. Wonder if it is a software problem?2Views0likes4CommentsRe: Data Light Yellow
Any results yet? The yellow light is still coming on daily when I use the power saver function the night before or at any time. I have it set to power down. I did try turning the power saver function off and the yellow light did not come on at all the next day. But, it does come on daily when I turn the TV on after it has powered down for the night or during the day after 4 hrs. Am still turning off the yellow light by going to device settings, device lights, power lights brightness. As soon as bring up power lights brightness the yellow light flicks and goes off. I don't have to change from 3 to off. Of course with power saver on the light comes back on any time I re-start the TV after power saver takes effect.0Views0likes7CommentsRe: Data Light Yellow
I do what KAM82 does and it does go out. two days ago I tried turning the power saver to off and when I turned the TV on yesterday the yellow light did not come on. So, I turned the power saver back on last night and unfortunately today the yellow light came back on when I turned the box back on. Perhaps it may have something to do with using the Device Settings, Power Preferences, Power Saver? It used to give me options on how soon to power down, one, two, or three hours, etc. Now I only get the on or off option. No problems with the yellow data light until November 1 of this year.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Data Light Yellow
Kevin, I'm in Algiers(New Orleans) 70131 and my contour cable box started doing this yesterday Nov. 1. I powered down and powered back up and it was gone but it was back again today. I tried the light setting in devices as suggested above from 3 to off and back to 3 and the yellow light is currently off. Will see what tomorrow brings. I called tech support this morning and she did not even know what I was talking about. Please keep us posted. Must be a software problem with the contour boxes?0Views0likes2Comments
