It worked. Problem solved. I guess not all HDMI cables are the same. I cancelled the appointment for the tech to visit my house. All good. Thank you, Cox! Re: Mini Box activationYes, the outlet worked fine.Re: Mini Box activationThe cable is straight from the wall into the minibox. It passes the connectivity test and software test. The problem is the activation takes waaaay too long and it times out. The first time it happened I was told to reference 2.2.5. But after speaking with tech support on telephone and retrying the mini box, I just keep getting the "taking longer than expected" error. The tech supports claims to have sent the activation signal, but nothing helps. Getting frustrated....I just want my basic cable upstairs....Mini Box activation How do I activate my mini box? I followed the instructions and the error message says its taking longer than expected....It references cox.com/minibox, but when I go to that web address there is no "activate" option....I called the help desk and Shonda was super friendly and patient, but she could not help. I dont want to wait for a tech to come to my house just so I can watch basic cable.....
