Hubs for Contour
I’m a quadriplegic and need to use voice recognition completely. I cannot get my contour box to communicate with my fire cube. Is there a hub (like the old harmony hub) that can send the IR signals to the Arris box. I’ve tried different IR blasters with a new Amazon Fire TV Omni. I’ve tried adding a fire tv cube to the tv. I’ve tried a Aqara hub with no consistent results.Contour 2 DVR with 24 tuners
I currently have a Contour 1 DVR with 6 tuners. My second identical DVR recently broke and I found out during an attempted swap out at the local Cox Store that Cox no longer allows two DVR's on the same network. I ended up with a client box instead that is fed from my remaining DVR. So I am used to having 12 tuners available for recording. I see the Cox Ultimate DVR with 24 tuners on the Cox web site, but no real information on how it works or is configured. 1. Can it store recordings locally or is everything stored in the Cloud? 2. Does it require Panoramic Internet from Cox? 3. What is the true cost, (the web site shows a $10 bump from $20 to $30 a month when going from 6 to 24 tuners) Any hidden costs I should expect? 4. Is there a manual posted online that explains how the Ultimate works?TV/cable freezes when watching channels
With most channels, daily my television screen will freeze during scheduled TV shows/movies/live tv and won't fix itself. The screen and sound are like stuck. To fix temporarily, I will unplug the contour box. It will fix it for a few hours at the most and then it will freeze again. It doesn't matter what channel I'm on. Anybody else have this problem?Contour 2 DVR recordings show on host but no longer show on client boxes, however…
On client boxes I can see the scheduled recordings, record a show that will record and is watchable on the host but none of the clients display any recordings. What would be the reason causing the clients not to show any recording but allows them to schedule and record shows that do show up on the main DVR? One of my clients needs to be exchanged due to it failing to download the software image which was done when a tech hhas disconnected my cable and phone line due to ingress without any notification or notes left in my account so customer service knew. That was all resolved but this mysterious issue happened after replacing a line from the wall to a client box that was the cause of the ingress. I can’t see the absence of ome client causing this. I looked at the hook up in the house that was modified and the one odd thing I see is the cable line-in to the house is split with one side going to an amp that goes to another amp which is connected to each room. The other side of the split from the main line in goes directly to the DVR. The tech is off for the next couple days and I don’t want to bother him and have already called customer service and they were just going to send someone else out in another week so I’ll plan to contact the tech that fixed it but I was hoping to perhaps get some feedback here while I wait. It’s odd that the clients are obviously talking to the host dvr to list the scheduled recordings and start recording from client boxes that show on the host, but the clients no longer show any recordings like they used too thank you for your time and advice in advance.
