Contour 2 DVR recordings show on host but no longer show on client boxes, however…
On client boxes I can see the scheduled recordings, record a show that will record and is watchable on the host but none of the clients display any recordings. What would be the reason causing the clients not to show any recording but allows them to schedule and record shows that do show up on the main DVR? One of my clients needs to be exchanged due to it failing to download the software image which was done when a tech hhas disconnected my cable and phone line due to ingress without any notification or notes left in my account so customer service knew. That was all resolved but this mysterious issue happened after replacing a line from the wall to a client box that was the cause of the ingress. I can’t see the absence of ome client causing this. I looked at the hook up in the house that was modified and the one odd thing I see is the cable line-in to the house is split with one side going to an amp that goes to another amp which is connected to each room. The other side of the split from the main line in goes directly to the DVR. The tech is off for the next couple days and I don’t want to bother him and have already called customer service and they were just going to send someone else out in another week so I’ll plan to contact the tech that fixed it but I was hoping to perhaps get some feedback here while I wait. It’s odd that the clients are obviously talking to the host dvr to list the scheduled recordings and start recording from client boxes that show on the host, but the clients no longer show any recordings like they used too thank you for your time and advice in advance.

Cloud DVR on phone
I know this has been brought up multiple times, however on multiple sites, we still don't have an option to watch cloud DVR on our phones or tablets, this is listed on your website as being able to do this and it has been at least a year as well. This is the link. www.cox.com/.../dvr.html
Contour box slow to record or won't record or cancels my recordings on its own. Freezes.
Contour box slow to record or won't record or cancels my recordings on its own. I just had COX TECH CERTIFY MY HOUSE WITH MULTIPLE TESTING on 11/10/2020. Everything including the Contour TV Cable box checked out good. This has gone on since January 2020. I had 7 boxes in 6 months. Sign up to record 6 shows at once. I only have 1 tv. After a I delete a program. I have to wait 5 minutes to be able to record. This is my 6th box in 7 months. The first box lasted almost 2 years. 6 contour boxes since March 2020. June and July 2020 2 bucket truck Cox techs said there is an ongoing problem in Atlanta. I'm paying for a service that works well half the time. They have been upgrading services around here for severals months now so I get lots of slow downs or no services. I'm sick of calling the Cox Tech Dept about these on going issues.
Customer service CALL routed to TEXT MESSAGE
I'm a new Cox customer but, to be honest, the quality of service I've received from support so far has been abysmal. I tried asking a question about my bill last week and the non-answer I received was "that's just the way the bill is"....hardly an answer. Thankfully, a co-worker who USED to work for Cox was able to provide an answer, which leads us to today: I had asked my wife to call Cox today to find out why we're having so many issues with laggy response from DVR content and issues with audio cutting out, etc. She did as I asked, but then was told "we've sent you a text message" and her attempt to receive help over the phone was routed to an off-shore representative responding via Text message. The representative was of zero help and ultimately just dispatched a technician. My question is WHY was this phonecall routed to text message AT ALL? We're technically savvy people and generally can recognize whether text is an efficient way to resolve an issue....technical issues like this are NOT efficiently handled via text message and Cox forcing the call to a text message environment only leads to a already frustrated customer becoming significantly more frustrated. If this is the quality of service we can expect from Cox moving forward, please let me know now....I'm sure your competitors would be happy to have us!
Did anyone have DVR problems after power outage last night?
i am not sure how far reaching it was in the Fairfax County area but Centreville had about a 5 minute power outage. When it eventually did come and reboot everything my DVR recordings from about 15% free to 29% free last night to now it is about 68% free. It is strange that my older recordings stayed there but my new stuff got wiped out I have a ton of recordings shown as "unavailable to play". Tried asking support and doesn't seem there is anything more to recover this. Anyone else have this issue in the last day Need to figure out how save some of these DVR things in case of this mess.
