Best HBO Channel?
I record several HBO programs on Sundays - True Detective, Last Week Tonight, etc. For two out of the three last weekends, my scheduled recordings failed. If you look at the "Missed Recordings" list, it says recording failed because Cox was experiencing technical difficulties. I called technical support (and, as is always the case), they rebooted my Contour DVR. My wife was watching one night when the HBO recording was scheduled, and she could see that the entire signal was missing - no signal was being transmitted. The Cox support representative said that they had been experiencing problems with HBO and support had received a lot of complaints. (I am in Las Vegas.) I have been recording the main HBO HD channel (1200). So I decided to change my scheduled recordings to another one of the HBO channels (I think I tried 1211). This recorded, but when we played the recording (True Detective), the picture broke up constantly, the video and audio dropped out several times, and, while we completed the program, it was not a pleasant experience. Should I be using the "Main" HBO channel (1200) for my recordings? Are all the HBO channels created equal in terms of signal strength and reliability? The Cox Support representative suggested that if my problems continue, I would need to schedule a technician visit. About three years ago, I had the same issue - with numerous support calls and several technical visits to my home resulted in no improvement. The last time they were going to send someone to my house again, I suggested that the problem was not my home wiring or my DVR - it was the signal being delivered by Cox. That got them to put a monitor on the main switch box for my community - and sure enough, they discovered that entire channels were dropping out during the day (for the entire neighborhood). It seems like something similar is happening again. I have posted before about turning on my DVR and seeing an error message saying that there was no signal available. (This included the HD channel for the local CBS affiliate.) This was easy to fix by tuning to another channel and then back to the original channel. For some reason, channels are being shut off. Hence, my question: what is the most reliable HBO channel? David3.3KViews0likes5Comments
Signing in to HBO GO
I am all of the sudden having a problem signing into HBO GO online. You must sign in with your cable provider. When I try to sign into COX I receive an error message. At the top it says "HTTP Status 500." And the description says, "The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling the request." I've tried 3 different browsers, with no luck. Any ideas on whether or not this is a COX issue or possibly a problem with the HBO plug-in? I'm stuck. Help, please! #justwannawatchbiglove5.5KViews0likes2CommentsHBO On Demand - Missing Game Of Thrones Episodes
I recently added HBO to my Cox Cable account and have been catching up on Game Of Thrones. Now, I have noticed that most of the episodes are missing from the HBO On-Demand channel. I got half-way through season three and suddenly all the episodes disappeared. (This happened while the on-demand function was not available due to technical problems.) Any idea of why this is the case? I signed up for HBO Go and all the episodes are present on HBO Go. If they are on Go why aren't they on Cox? David6.4KViews0likes1Comment
