Netflix app crashes 2-3 times per show I try to stream. Why bother?
App crashes constantly (multiple times during a single 1 hour long show). DVR looks up and/or becomes unresponsive a few times a month. Just swapped out the DVR today and lost all our recordings, hoping this would resolve the issue. Nope, 2 netflix failures right off the bat. Went to the netflix app on our TV, watched 3 episodes with zero issues. Seriously rethinking why I have this DVR and/or even use the apps. Would save a ton of money and hassles to just cancel the cable service. I can't be the only one.5.9KViews0likes14Comments
I cannot launch the Netflix app on my new Contour 1 box. I receive error code APPS04154. Netflix launched fine a week ago but several days later started displaying this message. I have reset my DVR box, done a system refresh and reset Netflix.

Disable Netflix when searching On-Demand
I understand that many in the world have Netflix accounts but I do not and don't want to purchase one. Therefore it is really annoying that as I am searching through my on-demand that I am unable to filter out what is available on Cox on-demand vs Netflix. If anyone knows of a way to do that it would make my life and kids life easier than thinking there is a show available only to find out it is not.1.3KViews0likes1CommentThinking of watching Netflix via Contour? - a word of warning
Please don't misunderstand; I think Cox' offering of Netflix as an additional source for on demand viewing is terrific and proactive. For sure they aren't going to up and fade away because of competition. However, be prepared to wait. and wait. and wait for it to load using Contour 2. If you already have a streaming device (Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Chromecast or Roku) I would heavily recommend using that instead of Contour. I tried unplugging the DVR which is connected to the TV I attempted to view Netflix on demand on---no joy there. Your individual experience, like an EPA mileage estimate, may indeed vary.7.5KViews0likes13Comments
SLOW Streaming Netflix/Amazon (using wireless Internet)
I have a Samsung "smart tv", and a Tivo, both are connected via wireless to my internet service with Cox. Both, are super slow, lag, or quit on me, telling me my internet speed is too slow, or my connection is lost, etc. This happens when I am using Netflix, or Amazon Prime to watch movies (or tv episodes). And it happens whether I am streaming through my TV or through my Tivo. Only one is used at at a time, no other wireless is used in my house while I'm trying to use the TV/or Tivo. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can fix this? (do I need to upgrade internet speed, buy better wireless adapters for TV and Tivo; connect directly to modem??? or anything else?) Please help!5.6KViews0likes3Comments
Interesting issue with my Netflix streaming.....
I started having trouble with my Netflix streaming to my smart tv tonight so I began investigating and found something very interesting... Initially I tried a ping to netflix.com and every request timed out. I figured maybe their servers don't accept incoming pings so I tried a tracert next and this is what came back..... Tracing route to netflix.com [107.20.154.246] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 7 ms 7 ms 7 ms 10.51.0.1 - My modem 2 7 ms 7 ms 7 ms 172.21.0.180 - Cox 3 42 ms 29 ms 29 ms 70.169.77.248 - Cox 4 44 ms 59 ms 45 ms dalsbprj01-ae1.0.rd.dl.cox.net [68.1.2.109] - Cox 5 31 ms 31 ms 32 ms 68.105.30.10 - Cox 6 72 ms 66 ms 65 ms 54.240.229.102 - AMAZON?? 7 66 ms 67 ms 67 ms 54.240.229.12 - AMAZON?? 8 79 ms 79 ms 79 ms 54.240.229.164 - AMAZON?? 9 66 ms 67 ms 65 ms 54.240.229.125 - AMAZON?? 10 73 ms 73 ms 73 ms 205.251.244.22 - AMAZON?? 11 66 ms 67 ms 68 ms 205.251.245.11 - AMAZON?? 12 65 ms 67 ms 67 ms 205.251.245.123 - AMAZON?? 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out. 16 69 ms 69 ms 74 ms 216.182.224.197 - AMAZON?? 17 * * * Request timed out. 18 * * * Request timed out. 19 * * * Request timed out. 20 * * * Request timed out. 21 * * * Request timed out. 22 * * * Request timed out. 23 * * * Request timed out. 24 * * * Request timed out. 25 * * * Request timed out. 26 * * * Request timed out. 27 * * * Request timed out. 28 * * * Request timed out. 29 * * * Request timed out. 30 * * * Request timed out. Trace complete. So what I am wondering is why my internet connection is being routed through AMAZON connections to get to Netflix. The last time I checked, Amazon didn't own Netflix, nor are they an ISP and they certainly don't own Cox. As soon as my connection moves from the Cox network over to Amazon you can see that all of the connection times go up, or even time out. Here's a tracert to Yahoo.....

Does Cox throttle connections with Netflix? Over the last few days Netflix can't even go 5 minutes without slowing to a crawl, but other services like Hulu or Amazon Video are fine. Speed tests through the computer are all normal. Essentially everything works fine except for Netflix, though the service works fine on other providers.5.8KViews0likes2Comments
