Screen Saver Ugliness
Cox used to have a very pleasing Screen Saver that came on after a predetermined amount of time changing a large flat-screen display into a beautiful display of pictures of animals, landscapes, etc. ...

Thanks Maria, but that’s not the problem. Under News Feed, “News Headlines”, “Sports Events”, and “Weather” are all turned off. This is something new that apparently, Cox has added within the past few days. As the Screen Saver is transitioning from one picture to the next a full screen advertisement (I’m calling it that for lack of a better word) comes on and remains on screen for about fifteen seconds. These “adds” (there are three or four different ones) urge you to download the Cox Connect app or give instructions on how to use the Voice Remote.
- There is no way to disable this part of the screensaver at this time. We implemented these on purpose to give tips/tricks to customers.
