So, last time my dad went to our cable provider, Cox, they conned him into getting what is called "Contour" what this service does is replaces the cable box in the den with a newer one equipped with a DVR and allows us to view cable TV on our laptops, tablets, phones, etc. Now none of us really record anything so the DVR wasn't the selling point to us but being that we could watch stuff on demand while out of town sounded pretty good so he got it. We finally got it all set up today only to find that to watch on any of these devices, it has to be on wifi and has to be on your in-home wifi network. Meaning if you're not at home, you can't view programming. This renders Contour essentially useless. So we're sending that back.
