Contour remote problem with Smart TV
Just got the Contour 2 with the associated XR11 remotes yesterday. Had a problem with manual recordings (I like to record & watch sporting events in halves or periods) or, if I see a boxing broadcast and want to save one of the fights, I set up a manual recording. Found out on this forum that this DVR does not have that capability. Website and tech support were no help - referred me to manual recording on Advanced TV. 1) I have a Samsung Smart TV. When you turn on the TV and the cable box is on it knows that you want to watch TV so it turns on to a a screen that has the picture of what's playing on the cable box that then it gets highlighted and, on the TV remote, I press on the touchpad to select the highlighted box. I have a universal remote that worked with my prior Motorola DVR - when you selected "Watch TV" it sent a signal that turned on the cable box, the tv, and selected the highlighted box. I tried all the codes for Samsung TVs but none worked to turn on the TV and select the highlighted TV box (several turned off and adjusted volume OK). Does anyone know a remote code to try or is there I change a setting on the TV to automatically turn on to TV?928Views0likes1CommentSlingbox 500 with a Cisco XiD (Model CXD01ANI) Contour 2
I just upgrade to Contour 2 due to major DVR issue. When they did this, they replaced my Cisco Model GSH4742 with the mini HDMI receiver, Cisco XiD (Model CXD01ANI). The mini HDMI receiver does not come with any components that is need for sound but it does not support infrared for online remote control. Suggestion how I can get around the components and the missing IR remote control?2.4KViews0likes1CommentCan't find my GMX9865 on Cox' Identifying Your Cox Digital Receiver webpage
Unless it's listed under a different manufacturer/model number on this Cox page (https://www.cox.com/content/cox/residential/corporate/locations/greaterlouisiana/pages/support/identifying-your-cox-digital-receiver.html), the main DVR device we currently have installed (according tohttps://www.cox.com/resaccount/my-services.cox ) , a GMX9865, either fell between the cracks or is so new that Cox hasn't had the time to list it. While it continues to function as per designed and installed (with the exception of having on occasion to repeat a command on the remote - line of sight?), I'm curious as to why it's not to be found on the above Cox Receiver reference page.2.6KViews0likes3CommentsContour not comaptible with soundbar
We just got Cox contour 2. We have a Samsung Soundbar HW-E450 and the Contour remoteControl XR-11. I cannot get the sound to work. I called Cox support, and they could not help ans suggested I contact Samsung at 800-2726-7864 to see if they have an updated 5 digit code. Samsung says they do not have a code that they could give me. It is a pain to have to use 2 remote controls to watch t.v. Any suggestions how to get the soundbar to work with Controur?12KViews0likes3Comments
