Can I restrict which shows my family can see?

Parental controls are not currently available with Cox TV Online. We are developing parental controls and will have them in 2011. However, HBO content can only be viewed by the account holder, so you can control access to HBO content by not sharing your account holder user ID and password with others.  Likewise, you can control access to other Cox TV Online content by limiting whom you add as an authorized user on your account.

Do I have to use Cox TV Online to access online video content?

No, in many cases, you can go directly to the content providers' websites. You will, however, have to meet their requirements before you can access their content. By using Cox TV Online, you register once on Cox.com and then have access to the content available.

Why do I have to sign in twice to view some providers' content?

Some providers, such as Epix, require that you also register on their website the first time you access their content. You only have to register and log in the first time. Afterwards, when you sign in at Cox.com, your login information is passed directly from Cox.com to the provider.

Can I view Cox TV Online Content on my iPhone, iPad, or Android phone?
