NFL Football in SPANISH - HOW TO FIX
Posting this September 2021 NFL games on COX in Southern CA randomly default to Spanish. After calling COX - no solution - and reading a bunch of posts (here and elsewhere) with no complete solution, I decided to post this cure. For clarity, we have fairly new Samsung TVs... First, the fundamental issue is that COX - for some bizarre reason - DEFAULTS many of its NFL/Football broadcasts to SPANISH as the PRIMARY language. That means if you go to your TV language and COX menu language/SAP and hit "reset" (or default or "English") you will find that your broadcast stays in Spanish. Making it worse, COX does not give you an actual language selection that is easy to find. Here's how to fix the issue: While watching the game - with NO menu showing - hit the PAUSE BUTTON. This will (obviously) pause the broadcast. You'll notice a small menu pops up along the bottom showing pause, rewind, fast forward - and ON THE LEFT SIDE you'll see "AD" "SAP" and "CC". YOU HAVE TO DO THE FOLLOWING QUICKLY BECAUSE THE MENU DISAPPEARS AFTER 3 SECS.... use your arrow keys and scroll LEFT to SAP (it will highlight "audio options") and click enter - the "audio options" menu will then appear - you need to select SPANISH and click ENTER - which then puts the SECONDARY LANGUAGE AS SPANISH (as counterintuitive as it may seem) - and you're done! Hope this helps! ASB in CA23KViews0likes5CommentsTV power up to screen saver
I'm curious ifanyone else has seen this. I have had a Contour box connected to a Samsung flat screen TV for about 2 years. I've been powering down the box using the verbal command - press the microphone button on the remote control, say "Power Down" or "Sleep Now", which brings up a dialog box from which I select "Sleep Now". After about five seconds, the Contour box and the television will turn off. This has worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. Since then, after initial power down, and after a pause of about 20 seconds, the TV comes back on and displays a screen saver, which stays on indefinitely (I've awakened in the morning to find it this way). Apparently, the TV is receiving a signal from the cable, even though the Contour box power light is off. Anyone have any idea what's causing this?694Views0likes1CommentWatch cloud dvr recordings on phone
I am posting to see if there is a way to watch cloud dvr recordings on the go? The majority of programs seem to be in home, however this surely can't be due to licensing issues can it? Multiple live services such as youtube tv, and hulu have this ability.1.4KViews0likes2CommentsCOX VERY OWN TV COMMERCIAL ADVERTISMENT CONSISTENTLY VIOLATING FCC CALM ACT
Why are the Cox commercials consistently so much louder than the other commercials? We have done all the troubleshooting one could do. Here is what i know. They have been doing this for years. It currently on the commercials they air and advertise to sell there very own services. So as a business owner if we could turn up the volume if we paid for commercials that were aired on cox cable, contour, or digital tv then this would be a slam dunk!! NOPE! IT IS ILLEGAL AND NOT FAIR. WHEN BABIES ARE SLEEPING YOU KEEP THE VOLUME DOWN BY THE PEOPLE WE PAY OUR TV BILL TO. WE OPERATE 7 HOMES WITH THIS CABLE PROVIDER. I will be filing a complaint with the FCC regarding the CALM Act. Please join me if you have experienced the same issue?1KViews0likes1Commenta question about contour or contour 2 cable boxes (NOT THE DVR)
I was wondering .... can I have 2 contour boxes (not the DVR kind), in the same house (thus replacing a mini-box)? example... 1 in living room and another in bedroom... Or better yet, if I found an extra contour box or contour 2 box (say at goodwill, ebay, amazon, etc...), would I be able to use it in another room instead of the mini-box as I have noticed that the contour box in our living room has nicer features such as more programming and voice remote than the basic remote and programming associated with the mini-box in my room. Any answers on this subject would be great... especially if I find out that I can simply replace the mini-box with say a "goodwill, ebay, amazon, etc.." contour and only pay $2.99 instead of whatever cox is charging to rent their contour receivers each month. Would there be any problems just plugging it in where the mini-box was??3.7KViews0likes7CommentsError ftde.xact.3323.1000319 on online Contour streaming
I've been watching TV using the contour on Cox,today I recieved this: Error ftde.xact.3323.1000319. It said that once I was logged out and logged back in it would be fixed. I have done that three times now and it still pops up!671Views0likes1Comment
