Cox Equipment Upgrade?
I received the famous email from Cox saying I had to upgrade my equipment or lose service. Went to the Cox store and they were clueless but put in an order. A tuning adapter arrived in the mail. I have a Tivo with a cable card and have not used a tuning adapter in years. Returned it long ago. I took my Contour 2 tuner to the store and they took it and said to keep the remote because the tuning adapter did not include one. At this point I have the new tuning adapter, the remote from the old Contour box and a cable card. If we do not need a tuning adapter now, are we really going to need this one?
Magnolia Network & Tivo
I have a TIVo Bolt with a tuning adapter. I can view all of my channels accept the Magnolia Network. The screen goes black and nothing happens. Cox is blaming Magnolia. Magnolia is blaming TIVo and TIVo blames Cox. I’m sure it has to do with the tuning adapter but don’t know how to solve the problem. Anyone else have this problem?
Cable cards and tuning adapters NOT working
I’m 4 weeks into this issue that nobody can resolve. I have 4 sets of cable cards and tuning adapters in 4 TiVo units. About 4 weeks ago, I noticed that some channels were not working. I also noticed that all 4 tuning adapters were flashing yellow (should be solid yellow). I called and they “reset” my connection. Didn’t work. Did that again a few days later. Still didn’t work. They sent a tech to the home (which showed no issues. I then talked to a tech agent who couldn’t pair all my equipment and suggested that I swap them out. Did that - all new (used) cards and adapters. Called the 877-820-82xx number and got those partially paired on one TV (not the others). They sent another tech to my house (no issues). The last time I called tech she was able to pair ALL cards but I have limited service. No sub channels (1 HBO, 1 Showtime, no EPIX, etc). I subscribe to EVERY channel. Frustrated, I settled and decided to shelve my 4 TiVo’s and go with your IP TV service. I ordered the Ultimate DVR service (record 24) with 4 HD boxes. They had to upgrade my modem to facilitate it. Said great - I’ll see it in a couple days. Ended the call. What I received from UPS was 2 old DVR’s with 4 clients and the new style modem. When I called (yet again) they said the sent me that equipment because IP TV service isn’t available in my area. REALLY? I just want my cable cards to work so I can use my TiVos or receive the IP/cloud based DVR service like I was offered. Can anybody help?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. Rob in ArizonaTivo Missing Cox OnDemand App
The cox ondemand app is missing from my Tivo Bolt. I have read that there is some type of code that needs to be added to my account for the app to appear. Can someone please check this for me. If it happens to be setup correctly, is there anything else I can do to get the app to show up. I have already restarted the tuner and the tivo, connected to the tivo service, unchecked and checked the video sharing and enable video downloads options in the tivo device preferences. Thanks in advance, BenThis channel is temporarily unavailable on Tivo
Hi, I have been using my TIVO Romio (and mini) for a few years on Cox with no real issues. Recently (last Saturday) I went to my PAC12 channel and received this message "This channel is temporarily unavailable, Press select to try tuning to this channel again. Contact your cable provider for more information" The issue extends to several channels, all above 1154. This is not every channel but most of them. This is impacting even my premium channels as well (not HBO on channel 1300 though). I validated that the channel does work on the cox box that I have elsewhere in the house. I have rebooted both the romio and the mini several times, checked at different times of day to see if that was an issue and so far nothing works. Hoping there is a solution out there.
