using contour application on smartphone/tablet
I have installed the Contour application and logged in, tried getting to espn and am getting an error saying it will only work on my home network. what is the point of having an app on a tablet or smartphone if I am restricted to using it at home? seems a waste of money if I am not able to use it while travelling on a public wifi or even my work wifi? or am I doing something wrong?1.8KViews0likes2Comments
Contour Guide... Request/Suggestion/Problem
Why doesn't the Cox Contour guide Display the Series number and episode number e.g.. S1-E2 and the subtitles for shows so you know which one you are looking at, which gives you more information than just the information alone because the Big Bang Theory does it e.g... The Big Bang theory, Season4 Episode 10 The Alien Parasite Hypothesis, and so does every other TV show instead of just The Big Bang Theory or just the title of any other show,I know that the Direct TV Genie does it and arranges the recorded shows in order, and you can get more information from the TV guide App on your Smart Phone than the contour guide typically gives you. So, why doesn't Cox update the contour guide to show such information that will be very helpful to people watching TV.2.7KViews0likes4Comments
Contour 6 DVR User Interface Changes
I have some user oriented recommendations: The DVR list should only show programs recorded by the current user. I don't want to wade through everything others are recording. Leave a default user that can see all programs for just-in-case. This ties into the unique experience tailored to each individual user so touted in all your advertising. Why move to the "B" button for most confirmations? Users can find the "A" button without looking and by touch in the dark. The "B" button almost guarantees having to look down to find it. Bad ergonomics! This is mostly tied to channel/program selections, things like date/time confirmation in the guide can remain on "B" as I use it infrequently. Give me the opportunity to block erase recorded programs between any two selected programs. We always have a gaggle of old recordings that never were nor will be watched and 5 button pushes to erase each and every individual record is tiring. Give me the opportunity to reset the default series recording parameters rather than forcing me to change them for each and every series I want to record. e.g. - "Episodes" is defaulted to "First run and repeats" when I usually only want to automatically record "First run only". Thoughts from a cranky old software developer.2.9KViews0likes5Comments
