Contour compatibility
I currently have 3 Cisco HD set top boxes (which use the older Cox interface). In addition I have 1 cable card that is in a TiVo XL4 box and associated tuning adapter. I have been told that I should consider migrating to the newer Contour system because the older equipment is prone to breaking down and is not reliable. I am willing to do this conversion provided: the TiVo box will continue to work AND I can get contour boxes that have composite/component output connectors Does anyone know if this is possible? thanks.

I received 2 new boxes within the past week and all of my recordings are messed up. I understand that they were all deleted when I received my first replacement box, but now with my second replacement box, some of the recordings between this one and the one before are stuck. They do not show on the TV but do show in the Contour app. I try to delete them and I get an error message Error TVAPP-00100. Will they eventually fall off or is there a way to wipe the DVR recordings? They are taking up space.87Views0likes4CommentsContour 4K Wireless box
I have the Cox Wireless 4K Streaming box. Model Xi6-A. I keep getting this error It started a few months back with one of my boxes. So I returned it to the COX store and got a new one. Then the new box started to do the same thing. I have 2 other boxes same model and they work fine. My Pano modem is just fine, not connection issues at all. I would take this box to the store and get a new one, but worried that it will happen with the new one too.423Views0likes1CommentIntermittent loss of audio with new Contour box
Several times an evening and random times I lose audio watching live tv, movies, or recorded shows. Picture is fine. Can restore audio by going backward & the playing live or recorded shows. Only happens on new Contour box, not two other mini boxes. Reset box repeatedly, problem recurred Cox techs swapped out box, same problem. Sound loss occurs on all 3 sound outputs from Contour box, so problem is in the Contour box. Second Cox tech changed out cable from pole to house, & house to Contour box. Same problems occurred. "Escalated" tech could not solve, said maybe software problem wContour box. "Tech stated possible firm ware issue but the engineers are still working on it " basically answer we have no clue so please pay your high cost for inadequate quality system.Problem is very irritating. Anyone else facing same issue?1.1KViews0likes2CommentsNew user of contour 2- power all button on remote doesn't work.
When paired with both my TV and stereo, the power all button doesn't do anything. When paired with TV only it DOES work. When paired with TV and stereo, TV power button only controls the stereo. Stereo is connected only to TV via the optical cable, not to the contour box. Tried multiple codes for TV and stereo. None work for power but do control sound level. Contour box does control channel change. TV is Sharp Aquos. Stereo is Panasonic DVD/Surround sound Stereo. Both are at least 15 years old.Solved3.4KViews0likes15CommentsNew Ubiquiti USG-PRO-4

currently my contour tv internet doesnt work. using watchtv.cox.com i get currently resuming and then error code tvapp-00281. im using google chrome, but i tested it on firefox and on a different computer. same error. while contacting cox customer support this is what they asked: 10:55:32 AM [Ray N.] Ok. I am working on the ticket. For troubleshooting, the back-office video support team requests your Cox User ID and password. Are you willing to give that to us? at the end of the conversation they summited a ticket (my problem is still there). so two questions. anyone know why im getting this error and is it normal for cs to ask for your login and password. i refuse to give it to ray.1.1KViews0likes6CommentsReminders ARE set to OFF and are still constantly interrupting thru the day
Followed directions. Checked again. Reset many many times. Still getting reminders from YEARS ago. It's for Bally sports hockey and keeps interrupting viewing with reminders about games. I pay a lot for Cox services and expect this to be solved.534Views0likes2CommentsTwo fried tvs
We've had two perfectly good tvs fried within 2 months of each other. Our main living room tv was 10 years old. Thought it was just old. We would get a black screen when we turned it on. Rather than go out and buy a new tv immediately, we brought in another one from a different room in the house. Tried to turn it on this morning and got the same exact black screen. What could be happening here? I'm beginning to think it has something to do with our cox equipment and not the tvs. We have a Cox provided modem+router combo and a cox contour boxwith this tv. All the other tvs in our house are fine. My husband is an electrician and has tested the outlet our surge protector goes into and confirmed power is fine.775Views0likes4Comments
