Okay, Let's Get You Watching Cox on Your Computer!
Ready to ditch the couch and embrace the freedom of watching your favorite shows on your trusty computer? Awesome! It's easier than making toast (and probably more entertaining, unless you're really into toast).
First things first: The Cox Contour App (Your New Best Friend)
Think of the Cox Contour app as your golden ticket to TV-watching bliss. It's your key to unlocking all those channels you pay for, right on your computer screen.
Download it. Love it. Live it. (Okay, maybe don't *live* in the app, but you get the idea.)
How to Snag This Magical App
Head over to the Cox website. You know, the digital home of all things Cox.
Look for something along the lines of "Watch TV Online" or "Stream on Your Computer." Don't be shy, click it!
The Cox website should guide you to the right place to download or access the Contour app through your browser.
Logging In: The Password Gauntlet
Ah, yes, the moment of truth. Time to remember that username and password you probably created back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (or at least, when dial-up internet was still a thing).
If you're like me and your brain is more like a sieve, hit that "Forgot Password" button with gusto! Cox will help you reset it, no problem.
Once you're in, you're golden. Prepare for a glorious onslaught of TV goodness.
Navigating the Contour App: It's Easier Than You Think
The Contour app is pretty intuitive. Even if you're technologically challenged (like my grandma, who still thinks email is magic), you'll figure it out.
Browse by channel, search for specific shows, set recordings, the world is your oyster! Well, the TV-watching world, at least.
Consider this, if the remote control doesn’t mysteriously disappear between the couch cushions, you can watch TV without getting up.
Troubleshooting: When Things Go Wrong (and They Sometimes Do)
Okay, let's be real. Sometimes technology throws a tantrum. If the app's being glitchy, try these quick fixes:
Close the app and reopen it. It's the digital equivalent of "turn it off and on again."
Make sure your internet connection is solid. Streaming TV requires a decent connection. If your internet is slower than a snail on vacation, that could be the problem.
If all else fails, contact Cox customer support. They're the superheroes of the TV world, ready to swoop in and save the day (or at least, get your TV working).
Bonus Tip: Chrome Browser Extension!
For some extra streamlining you may also consider adding the chrome extension to your browser, if available.
This will allow you to have a quick and easy access to the Contour App right from your browser. Making it convenient to get in there.
Having this extension on your toolbar is as easy as having popcorn to your movies.
Congratulations! You're a Cox-on-Your-Computer Pro!
See? I told you it was easy! Now go forth and binge-watch your heart out. You've earned it!
Enjoy the show!
