Cox...sigh...
They came out about a year and a half ago and installed whole-home DVR. We have six units (the DVR + 5 receivers). At any given time, several of them won't be able to use the On Demand feature. We get an error message saying to call Cox for support. When we call, the first thing they always say is to go around and reset all the boxes. Which we do, and it doesn't fix anything. So they send out a service technician.
Multiple service technicians have come out, and on each visit, each one has THE ANSWER, and does their version of the fix. Which of course doesn't fix the problem. Each successive guy that comes out has THE ANSWER, and blames the problem on the previous technician. Over and over and over.
The most recent team of techs who came out informed us that the whole-home system isn't really designed for more than 4 units at a time. REALLY?!! Then why the hell did they install six? Hmmmm? He didn't get the problem fixed. He said he'd contact his supervisor and get back to us...that's been about 3 weeks ago. We won't hear from him again.
We're finding out that the biggest issue we have with Cox is that their technicians are all independent contractors rather than Cox employees. So there's no common protocol for service visits apparently. Everybody has a different idea of what needs fixing, how to fix it, where to fix it, etc. It's frustrating, to say the least.
