Guten Tag.

Exercise in futility. Having cox cable repair out. I'm complaining because after 4 hours of not touching any remote buttons my cable box goes to some bandwidth save mode. It displays was to long with inactivity and plays some sorry guitar music. Very annoying as I leave it on for background noise/music etc while I am working and DO NOT want to have to babysit the thing to keep it from going to low bandwidth mode. It just started this about 6 months ago.

The stupid thing is that it changes to another Channel that displays the message and plays the music. IT STILL USES A CHANNEL BANDWIDTH to save bandwidth!!!

When I first called they tried to tell me it didn't exist and there was no way my cable was doing that.

This time they told me it was a power saver for me. Told them it doesn't save me a singe watt if the everything on my end stays on, TV, Cable Box, etc. Then they said it was to save bandwidth. Said I was the customer and did not ask for their programming to stop to save them bandwidth. Told them whomever came up with this "Feature" needs to be repeatedly kicked in their nether regions with vigor. Said they need to figure out a way to turn it off or I, a customer of 30 years, will be forced to find another media source.

I am betting it is a system level thing and there is nothing they can do about it.
