a question about contour or contour 2 cable boxes (NOT THE DVR)
I was wondering .... can I have 2 contour boxes (not the DVR kind), in the same house (thus replacing a mini-box)? example... 1 in living room and another in bedroom... Or better yet, if I found an extra contour box or contour 2 box (say at goodwill, ebay, amazon, etc...), would I be able to use it in another room instead of the mini-box as I have noticed that the contour box in our living room has nicer features such as more programming and voice remote than the basic remote and programming associated with the mini-box in my room. Any answers on this subject would be great... especially if I find out that I can simply replace the mini-box with say a "goodwill, ebay, amazon, etc.." contour and only pay $2.99 instead of whatever cox is charging to rent their contour receivers each month. Would there be any problems just plugging it in where the mini-box was??
Sound and picture problems
Sound cuts out for a couple seconds, picture gets pixel blotches. Problem is now on both of my TV's. It's so bad that I can't watch the program. I reset the box every 3 - 4 days, that helps for an hour or 2. I've been a cox customer for 16 years, up to a year ago my cable was flawless. It seems their total solution is to reset the box. I'm being charged big bucks for inferior service. They know there is a problem but lack the balls to admit it and the intelligence to fix it.
Why did the upgrade to Digital in Wickenburg AZ, provide us with WORSE reception, than before, internet issues as well. Is it that stupid little box we have to have connected and lose the functionality of our Smart TV?
Watching Football - we get digital blocks across the screen,sometimes, like exactly during the touch down,. When watching NETFLIX, get slow connection issues which cause stoppages and sometimes unable to stream the video. This is not an upgrade, its a down grade.
