Contour incompatibility with HDMI/HDCP
I got a new 2019 AV receiver made by Onkyo, A mid high end receiver that switches the HDMI as the audio is now supplied over HDMI. The Contour cable box HDMI is routed through the Onkyo Receiver to a 2019 Sony TV. Every so often, the picture will freeze from the Contour. If I move the HDMI to connect the Contour direct to the TV , the picture is still frozen. The only way to recover is to reset the Contour Cable box (which takes an annoying 5 minutes). OK maybe a compatiblity of HDMI between the Contour Box and the Onkyo receiver so I returned the Onkly and purchase another receiver, different mfr and even higher cost also 2019 model. So guess what, the identical issue happens again. Picture freezes and Contour box must be reset. Called cox tech support and really all they could offer was to reset the cable box. No help there. I think the incompatibility has to do the the HDCP or High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection used to protect copyrighted material from being copied over HDMI on the cable box provided by Cox but manufactured by some large company no Cox. Im very suspicious the problem is in the Contour box not keeping up with compatibility of new versions of HDMI and HDCP. Any clues here? thanks3.5KViews0likes1CommentContour HDMI compatibility issue?
I got a new AVR (Onkyo TX-RZ830) surround system that connect the Contour output to the TV via HDMI. When I watch tv from the Contour, about once/day the video will drop out. I can still see the video overlay like channel info, close captions but not live video. Never have a problem when connected directly to the TV by the same HDMI. The only way to recover is to reset the Contour. Are there any known HDMI compatibility issues with the Contour? or other fixes other then try a different Mfr AVR?1.4KViews0likes1CommentDownloading Webmail to Outlook
I use Webmail and Outlook. When I open outlook it is set up via POP/SMTP to download my cox webmail to the local PC. However it only downloads the received email. It does not download the Cox Sent Webmails. How do I set up such that Sent Webmail will download to Outlook? thank you3.4KViews0likes2CommentsDownloading sent mail to Outlook
