    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.

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?

    Hi gdoliver2023,

    Greetings from the Roku community!

    We value your inquiry and interest in learning more about accessing the DVR feature on your Roku device, and we will do what we can to bring you the information you need.

    Your Roku streaming player provides you with access to stream movies and TV shows over the internet but does not have built-in storage for downloading or recording directly to the device. However, you can schedule and store recordings in a content provider’s online storage center if their streaming channel offers a cloud DVR feature. For more details, you can check out this support article on how to record movies and TV shows using a cloud DVR.

    Some channels that offer this feature with a paid subscription include Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, FuboTV, Premiere, and Philo. You can inquire with the channel provider for more details.

    Please let us know if you have further queries, and we'll be glad to assist you.

    Kind regards,

    Eunice
