    I do not see a match for Cox in the channel store.  If someone at Cox told you there was an app, you may need to ask them for the URL.  I tried searching for roku at cox.com but couldn’t find that either.  It appears Cox has their own streaming gizmo called “Contour Stream Player”.  They probably want you to use that instead.

Hi dikasaurus,

A warm welcome to the Roku Community!

Could you provide us with more details about your concern? Are you trying to watch Cox on the standalone or through The Roku Channel? Have you successfully added the app to your Roku device? In addition, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue?

With more details, we will be able to best assist you.

All the best,

Please roku, quit acting dumb. Simple question.........how do we stream using our paid for, high dollar cox account to our non-wired roku tv.  It's just like on a tablet using the cox app?  I love watching golf in my garage and don't have a cable outlet. Very simple question.

    I continue to see nothing labeled Cox in the Roku channel store, though many matches come up for Golf.  I searched the Cox site and found a Cox app for IOS and Android, but I see no mention of one for Roku. They also mention being able to watch directly in a browser, so maybe using a laptop would be a good garage solution. Even really old laptops can stream video.  You could also try casting.

    You could also ask Cox how to use their high dollar service.  Presumably you can get a question answered for those high dollars.

      To those with the same  question, I have an answer. Go to apps, find your channel or network, add to your list. Open the app, arrow up to open channel lineup, and find the channel you want to watch. Pain in the @#$ but that's how you get all your cox channels. 

      Just add a channel in the network if you can't find ythe one you want (nbc has golf net work, usa , local news, cnbc, etc).  I'm not a tech savvy guy but did figure it out!!!!

      I also get discover channel through discovery go. Play around with it and you will get it. 

      Anyway, was an Xmas gift from my wife who saw me complaining about watching TV on my small tablet. What a great present!!! And didn't have to pay to run a cable or extra cable box. 

      Just think of it as the app is a network and inside the app are all the channels they offer. I know, I dumbed it down. Sorry to the smart ones out there.

        I have the same issue, but We primarily want to access Cox's DVR recording feature. That's where Roku comes in. Can you get to the DVR Recordings using your method?

      The Cox tv app is called Contour.  I couldn’t find it in Roku’s App Library, but I also have an Apple TV device and the Contour app is in the Apple TV App Store.

      For some reason Apple TV’s App Store carries it but Roku’s App Store does not.
