cable box failure

Factory Reset EVERY night!?!
I seem to be living in the movie "Groundhog Day". Every day this week we are faced with the same issue. To begin, the old DVR box was giving us a lot of trouble with playbacks. Took it in Saturday and swapped it out. Easy Peasy right? Wrong. Got home and hooked up new box....nothing. No signal to the TV from the box. Of course technical assistance (really should come up with a better name for them) explained how it HAD to be my HDMI cable (because that's what the paper told her to say). Too late by now to get back and get another....no cable for weekend. Took box to store Monday afternoon and swapped again...assured there would be no issues. Got home and plugged it in and went through all the set-up and voila...we have cable. Problem solved? Not by a long shot. Wake up Tuesday morning and put TV on....nothing. Go to main box...nothing. No cable for tuesday either. Tech (who had been scheduled earlier) is to be there that afternoon. He walks in, looks at it and fixes it with just a few quick swipes of his hand. Explains to me when they put in some information into system they made a mistake and it tells the system to shut down the box when the update runs at night. So now it's fixed, right? Wrong! Same exact thing happened last two nights. Every morning i have to reprogram the main box just like it came out of the box from the factory. Only thing i get when I call in is "SORRY" and we can send a tech out. Already did that and he siad it was a problem with the office. I did get them to refund me for the days I was either without cable or have to fix their equipment. Really interested to hear the reply to this.

Youtube App stopped working in Contour 2 TV Box
This morning when I turned on my television to access the Youtube app on my Contour 2 TV box it will take me to the Youtube icon on the internet, but once it is finished downloading to open up the service the TV screen just goes black and nothing shows up. All of the other Apps like Netflix etc are working, just the Youtube App is dead. What is going on with this. It was working fine last night. I am nowhere near exceeding my monthly usage which I never exceed. I unplugged all of my equipment, TV, Contour 2 box, my Panoramic wifi router and it did two resets and it the Youtube App is still not working on my TV. Does anyone have a fix or suggestions. One other thing, Cox continues to made all sorts of settings changes with my phone service, security service, but they never notify me of any of the changes and then I find out that the changes are affecting my services such as receiving blocked number calls which I never had turned on, but Cox turned it on without telling me. My doctors and research staff could not make calls to my home using their blocked numbers because Cox turned on the blocked numbers service without telling me. I have several other similar examples of other settings changes being done remotely by Cox without my permission.
