Stereo receiver hook up
I just hooked my stereo receiver to my cox contour box and tv. The cox contour box is hooked up my stereo receiver with an hdmi line. The tv is also hooked up to my stereo receiver with an hdmi line ...

you're using a 2nd hdmi port for stereo, which doesn't need the tv on.
power the stereo on with it's own controller if you can't pair the contour to the stereo.
...or connect Contour directly to TV and then ARC to stereo. If the TV is off, its HDMI is off.
With this configuration, the question becomes: which connection sounds better?
I wouldn't expect a lot of high-end audio coming outta Contour; however, if a source is embedding some type of Atmos-lite channels, the eARC port on the TV would solve this. That is, if the TV has an eARC HDMI port.
2 separate channels, i can live with the splitter for tv/internet??
i'm not familiar with arc but do attach my dvd player to hdmi2/switch to hdmi2 source, don't need contour powered on.
