Recording video from a COX Mini STB.
I want to terminate Cox Contour service and switch to a Mini STB currently installed and previously unused. For testing purpose I used an HDMI to connect the TV to the STB and found that I can watch everything I.e. CNN, Golf Channel, Fox, etc... (basic Cox service is provided by the Landlord). I would like to add recording capability to the STB setup and think there may be a problem with HDCP... What are my options?
Remote DVR recording set up?
Is it no longer possible to use a web page or iPhone app to schedule a program to record to the in-home DVR when out of the home? This used to be possible, but I see no way to do it anymore in the Contour app or web interface. I find some posts that say it's possible, but they are all several years old. Can anyone confirm if this is no longer available?
Cloud DVR on phone
I know this has been brought up multiple times, however on multiple sites, we still don't have an option to watch cloud DVR on our phones or tablets, this is listed on your website as being able to do this and it has been at least a year as well. This is the link. www.cox.com/.../dvr.htmlLost the ability to use Plex to DVR all non-OTA Cox channels - No ESPN, TMC, AMC, etc
I' ve lost the ability to use HD Homerun Prime (cable card) with Plex to DVR all non-OTA Cox channels - No ESPN, TMC, AMC, etc. All channels detected show up as 'Protected' in the Plex DVR setup menu. I am able to receive channel 1987 as warned last year, and still do. I've re-scanned channels through HD Homerun Prime, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
DVR not working; cnF9 error
My DVR box (Cisco 8742HDC) stopped working around 1230 PM. I checked the cables (use a splitter with my panoramic wifi modem) and tried to reset it from the COX website, but received the "unable to reset receiver, try again in a few minutes" message. I tried again about ten minutes later, no change. I unplugged the power source from the box, waited two minutes then plugged it back in. It cycled through to the "Welcome to COX" screen but never actually made it to the program guide. After trying this a third time, my area had a thunderstorm which caused a power outage for about an hour. Once it returned, the box went through the usual boot up process, but now is frozen with the "Welcome to COX. We're loading the Interactive Program Guide" screen and the front of the box reads the "cnF9" error code (or config as I have seen in other posts). It has been like this for the past 2 hours and still has not returned. Every once in a while the "Please wait" blue dots that form a circle will move, as if to show progress. I have had this box about four months after having the previous model for four years. That box "died" after having a similar issue where it would not record and then it froze on the DVR recordings screen. I lost all my recordings that time and am mentally prepared to lose the recordings on this DVR again. Is it time for another box?Contour box slow to record or won't record or cancels my recordings on its own. Freezes.
Contour box slow to record or won't record or cancels my recordings on its own. I just had COX TECH CERTIFY MY HOUSE WITH MULTIPLE TESTING on 11/10/2020. Everything including the Contour TV Cable box checked out good. This has gone on since January 2020. I had 7 boxes in 6 months. Sign up to record 6 shows at once. I only have 1 tv. After a I delete a program. I have to wait 5 minutes to be able to record. This is my 6th box in 7 months. The first box lasted almost 2 years. 6 contour boxes since March 2020. June and July 2020 2 bucket truck Cox techs said there is an ongoing problem in Atlanta. I'm paying for a service that works well half the time. They have been upgrading services around here for severals months now so I get lots of slow downs or no services. I'm sick of calling the Cox Tech Dept about these on going issues.
