2 Tivos w/Cox cards & channel tuner - VOD does show but has never worked V205 Error
We have Tivo Roamio and Bolt, Cox cable cards, Extended channel tuners. When we first got them Cox VOD didn't even show-up. Worked with Cox and all proper flags, codes, etc were then added/set correctly. VOD still didn't work Error V205. Tech came out and brought new cards and tuner boxes, still no joy. We ended up just watching shows on the Cox Website through a browser on our computer, but now you can't watch certain shows on the website that you can with VOD on a card or cable box. We've tried the reboot modem and router and tivos, no joy there either. Tivo says it's Cox and the Cox techs say they don't know Tivo. I've spent probably 16 hours on hold or working with folks on both sides of the fence. I had escalation tickets and second tier folks call back and no one can eve say what V205 even is. I can launch the Cox VOD app on the Tivo or search for a show that says it's available on Cox VOD. If I select to watch, the spinning circle comes and then a text box that says Error V205 Cox VOD is temporarily unavailable. Try again later or call Cox. Have done both. There are so many entries on these forums reporting the V205 error and some general suggestions, but there is never an entry with a real report of the solution. Can anyone from Cox help me? I once heard of a guy that works in escalated support that used Tivo on Cox and he knew all fixes, but this was from a Cox engineer that said that this guy was one of the only guys that could make Tivo work with VOD. Tivo is definitely no help. They turn around and put you on a conference call with them and Cox and you sit there listening to each of them blame the other. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I have had my Bolt for several months and I have never been able to get the On Demand App show up as a selectable option. I have been on the phone several times with Cox and Tivo support, neither one has been able to solve the problem. I have run through all the troubleshooting steps many many times. Then I stumbled upon this posting. http://forums.cox.com/forum_home/tv_forum/f/4/t/16421.aspx Could someone on the Cox support team check my cable card and my tuning adapter for the same flags? I assume that is my problem.3.9KViews0likes3CommentsCox On Demand is down for all Tivo Users Nation wide
My self and many others on Tivo Community Dot come are reporting everyone is getting V205 errors when accessing Cox on Demand. This is happening at ALL Cox Systems Nation Wide. It is like the On Demand Servers are down. This has been going on for a week now. It is not possible watch Cox on Demand. Could someone at Cox please check the Cox ON Demand servers for Tivo, they are a separate feed. Also please work with Tivo to get this fixed. Hitting Watch now several times does not work, that used to be the work around, almost like the server connection was slow or not in queue yet or was powering one. Now nothing works. Us Tivo users do Pay for the Advanced TV package to get the On Demand Service (it is advertised on the Office Cox Tivo Bolt Web Page and in the Advanced TV service package) More Info/BackGround 1. We have the Cox On Demand App or Landing as Cox likes to call it. 2. We all have the proper flags set on our cable cards, this is confirmed, plus if we did not the App would not show on our menus. 3. It looks like it trying to load the video but then it gives the error. This happens on all Movies and TV shows. 4. On Demand is advertised on the Office Cox web site, here is the URL, yet it has been down or broken a lot since its release, almost like no one cares about the Thousands of Cox Tivo customers. A search on the Tivo Community web site shows mass amounts of issues. here is the URL were Cox advertises COX ON DEMAND with the TIVO https://www.cox.com/residential/special-offers/tivo-bolt.html Personal Comment on the issue: it is almost to the point where we should get a discount on our bill for the lost service if it can not be fixed soon. Please help33KViews0likes71CommentsTivo DVR w/ MLB Extra Innings and NHL Center Ice???
Ok, so I've talked to 3 different Cox reps now and received 3 entirely different answers to the following 2 questions: The first part of the question is If I lease a cable card through Cox so I can watch and record tv with a Tivo unit am I able to still subscribe to both MLB Extra Innings and NHL Center Ice? The follow-up question is, if I am able to subscribe to both of those packages, will I be able to record the games in their entirety on my Tivo unit to watch the next day? (the wife and I are usually at work when our games air so we watch them the next day hence why being able to record them is so important to us). The 3 entirely separate answers I've received so far from Cox are as follows: 1. Online Chat Rep on Cox's site: I was told that they do offer both of the sports packages to subscribers but I wouldn't be able to see them using one of Cox's cable cards in a Tivo unit. 2. Rep inside a Cox Solutions store: I was told that yes, they offer those packages and that I would be able to watch them using a cable card in my Tivo unit but I wouldn't be able to record the games at all because they're considered pay-per-view which Cox does not permitted to be DVR'd. (Personally I don't see how these should be considered any differently than a premium channel like HBO, Showtime, etc. as it's not a single typical pay-per-view event like a boxing match - they're full seasonal sports packages and my current tv provider has no problems allowing me to record every game). 3. Satellite Cox kiosk - I was told that Cox does not have either the MLB Extra Innings or NHL Center Ice season sports packages available but if they decide to offer them in the future I should have no issues receiving or DVR'ing them using a leased cable card through my Tivo unit. As you can see all 3 answers are entirely different from the next. We currently have Cox for our internet but Directv for our tv service. Our Directv contract is almost over so we were exploring different options that are available out there for our next tv provider. As I mentioned above I wouldn't think that Cox would consider both of those sports packages as PPV events since they aren't standalone events and you're not paying per game - you're paying like you would for adding a premium channel to your lineup and I think their employees may be confusing the two as I can't imagine a cable company forcing their customers into watching 162 baseball games a year LIVE only. That just doesn't sound correct? Anyway, if anyone has a Tivo Bolt+ and MLB Extra Innings/NHL Center Ice and frequently records games to watch please let me know as that would be most appreciated.Solved3.2KViews0likes4CommentsTivo - Tuning Adapter -
Can you suggest anamplifier with active return? My efforts to have Cox solve mypixelationissues with my MoCA Tivo network has no positive results after 10 months of begging, and pleading. Have mercy. Cox denies issues with the Tuning Adapter and Cable Card and has refused my request for an upgrade to my rented hardware into the latest version(s). Will you at least suggest an amplifier that may push the signal through the additional splitters required? Thank You.3.4KViews0likes6CommentsTiVo Bolt and TiVo Mini Setup
I recently ordered new service with Cox and ordered a TiVo Bolt and 2 TiVo Mini's. I have read about 2 different setups for connecting the TiVo's but was trying to make sure I have everything needed when they come to install. What is needed for a MoCa connection or should I run Ethernet cables.1.8KViews0likes1Commentt v

Cox new install on 8/11/16. The tech ran out of here like his backside was on fire... I had to practically beg to get the internet password, asked if I could test the 2 TiVos before he left and he made up some bull that they would have to sync with the internet before they would work. (not true... the internet is needed for the TV schedule, but the tuners should work.) We found we had very few channels. The tuning adapters were both flashing yellow. We called - another appointment on 8/16. The guy showed up and wouldn't even look at the situation saying he "hadn't ever worked on TiVo." He set an appointment for his "supervisor." Supervisor showed up on 8/17 and was here for 3 hours. Still nothing... tuning adapters still flashing. The supervisor loaned us some Contour DVRs which have only made me miss my TiVo more. The supervisor was supposed to return today, but he never showed. We called and he sent someone else. That guy sent showed up, unplugged and re-plugged the tuning adapters and then basically implied that it "** to you" and that "we'll never get TiVo to work." (which is odd... Cox advertises using TiVo with their service... https://www.cox.com/residential/special-offers/tivo-bolt.html ) We still have no working TiVos - BUT... Cox has our bill ready to be paid. Anyway, I'm about to cancel the entire Cox service and get something else unless I can be assured that my TiVos will work and that I quit getting the run around from the entirely 3rd party technicians. I am happy to provide one more chance, or else I want to cancel everything, get my money back / bill and contract canceled. Please let me know where to go from here.2.2KViews0likes4Comments
