Cox has a decent On-Demend selection at Channel 1, but the only thing that happens with my TiVo when selecting Channel 1 is I get a Cox, On-Demand barker video.

Can the actual on-demand platform of Cox, or any cable company, be accessed via TiVo?

I’m talking about the free material on Cox’s servers.

No

No

"No" it's not currently possible, or "No" it will never be possible? Is it a coding deficiency on TiVo's part, or a reluctance of the cable companies to allow it, in your opinion?

The cable companies don't want it to because they want you renting their equipment and free VOD is a plus for that IMO.

And that's ok with the FCC, who mandated cable card inclusivity for TiVo and other manufacturers? If the cable company cripples the cable card's abilities, that seems like a violation?

Beats me. But it is what it is.

My cable company supplies a free DTA. It doesn't do VOD. I think when they started renting the Arris/TiVo last year the VOD was on the menu bar. Now it seems to be an app and it's a button on the remote, replacing the Skip button.

Actually yes...but right now ONLY for cable co. that now offer their own, leased Tivo units...think Mediacom, RCN, Service Electric, Blue Ridge, etc.
And unfortunately, it does NOT work for subs on those same systems, that purchase their own retail Tivo's & use CC's.
Comcast USED to offer OND on retail Tivos', but removed it back this past June.

I thought Cox did offer on-demand via retail TiVos. Did they shut it down, simiilar to Comcast?

the reason comcast no longer works is because it was written using the HME platform while cox ondemand is either HTML5 or something else[/QUOTE]

Yes, I only meant similar in terms of "it used to be available for retail TiVo users, but no longer is."

What is changing is that Comcast and TiVo are announcing the end of support for the current Xfinity VOD application. The reason behind this is that the servers which are supporting this VOD application are running on an older operating system which has passed end-of-support.

From your replies, it seems that Cox On Demand *should* be available for retail TiVo users, if certain prerequisites are met.

comcast would have to create the app or use the same cox app, but they have no plans to

 

[ajwees41]

No

What's the mystery, then, is that the OP was aware of the Cox On Demand app, per their posting to one of the linked threads...

What's the latest with people and this Cox 205 error? We're getting it now - resetting Tivo Roamio and tuning adapter fixed it on the Roamio, but not on the Tivo Mini :/
