RE: Introducing Contour, the new personal video experience

Stamphead

Is Cox thinking of adding a feature to watch shows on the DVR through the iPad?

Currently the Contour app has a "push to TV" function, but not vice versa. Streaming or syncing from a DVR to an iPad won't be available in 2013. However, it is one of the features being investigated for future releases. Stay tuned, as we will add more and more programming to the Contour experience over time.

Will it be possible to use this new Contour service on Motorola equipment, and if not will people be able to rent just one box? I only have 1 TV so whole home was never a interest to me, but a 6 tuner DVR is.

Many of the advanced features of the Contour app will not be available unless you have the Record 6 DVR that is part of the whole Contour package. Without the Record 6 DVR, the app is similar to the Cox TV Connect app that precedes it.
However, you can get the Record 6 DVR as a standalone unit. I only have one TV myself, and I've been holding off on upgrading knowing this was coming.
