Contour compatibility
I currently have 3 Cisco HD set top boxes (which use the older Cox interface). In addition I have 1 cable card that is in a TiVo XL4 box and associated tuning adapter. I have been told that I should consider migrating to the newer Contour system because the older equipment is prone to breaking down and is not reliable. I am willing to do this conversion provided: the TiVo box will continue to work AND I can get contour boxes that have composite/component output connectors Does anyone know if this is possible? thanks.

Contour 4K Wireless box
I have the Cox Wireless 4K Streaming box. Model Xi6-A. I keep getting this error It started a few months back with one of my boxes. So I returned it to the COX store and got a new one. Then the new box started to do the same thing. I have 2 other boxes same model and they work fine. My Pano modem is just fine, not connection issues at all. I would take this box to the store and get a new one, but worried that it will happen with the new one too.
is it normal for cox customer support to ask for your ID and password? contour tv error tvapp-00281 is why i contact cs
currently my contour tv internet doesnt work. using watchtv.cox.com i get currently resuming and then error code tvapp-00281. im using google chrome, but i tested it on firefox and on a different computer. same error. while contacting cox customer support this is what they asked: 10:55:32 AM [Ray N.] Ok. I am working on the ticket. For troubleshooting, the back-office video support team requests your Cox User ID and password. Are you willing to give that to us? at the end of the conversation they summited a ticket (my problem is still there). so two questions. anyone know why im getting this error and is it normal for cs to ask for your login and password. i refuse to give it to ray.Reminders ARE set to OFF and are still constantly interrupting thru the day
Followed directions. Checked again. Reset many many times. Still getting reminders from YEARS ago. It's for Bally sports hockey and keeps interrupting viewing with reminders about games. I pay a lot for Cox services and expect this to be solved.
Two fried tvs
We've had two perfectly good tvs fried within 2 months of each other. Our main living room tv was 10 years old. Thought it was just old. We would get a black screen when we turned it on. Rather than go out and buy a new tv immediately, we brought in another one from a different room in the house. Tried to turn it on this morning and got the same exact black screen. What could be happening here? I'm beginning to think it has something to do with our cox equipment and not the tvs. We have a Cox provided modem+router combo and a cox contour boxwith this tv. All the other tvs in our house are fine. My husband is an electrician and has tested the outlet our surge protector goes into and confirmed power is fine.XRE-03095
I have tried everything to resolve this matter from getting a new box to unplugging everything and replug, and everything back in to make sure the connections were good and nothing takes away this code. Cox tells me that I need to have a technician come out which will cost me $75 which I refuse to pay, after reading this for him and seeing I'm not the only person that is getting this error message. I know that this cannot be something to do with my equipment or the way that it is installed so I'm really not too sure what having a technician coming to my home to try to fix it will accomplish the error code clearly clearly states that this is a problem on our end yet when I called to talk to technical support they act as if they have no idea what that code means after 10 different resets. Still nothing is working I tried to flip to different channels, and I continue to get this code on channels, such as the ID channel MTV all of the channels that I pay for in my package this is unacceptable customer support when you tell someone that they have to pay to fix their problem. Has anyone had any luck getting this resolved? I am at my wits end.
