This is a known issue and EPIX is working to resolve it as soon as possible. In the meantime, simply sign in at epixhd.com with your Cox user ID and password, then sign out at epixhd.com.

FAQs
Access to EPIX for Android is FREE to everyone and allows users to watch all EPIX movie trailers, extras, and interviews, view movie stills, and read synopses of featured movies. Watching full-length movies and original programs requires an authenticated subscription to EPIX from Cox. A one-time 14-day free trial is available to non-subscribers.
Android devices just need any Internet connection via WiFi, 3G, or 4G Internet connectivity. The connection must be from within the U.S. or territories. EPIX will automatically stream at the highest possible viewing quality based on the connection speed for playback with virtually no buffering. A minimum speed of 575Kbps is required to seamlessly view video.
EPIX is only available within the U.S. and territories. Watching movie and original programs is disabled outside of this available area both online and through Android devices.
EPIX movies and original programs are available to stream instantly to a computer or Android device. EPIX does not offer a download option at this time.
Your Queue is automatically updated online and on Android devices. All changes to a Queue are seamlessly made between the online account and the EPIX for Android app.
Easy updates to your Facebook and Twitter accounts let you post or tweet about what you’re watching or share a picture from your favorite movie directly from within the EPIX app.
To watch movies and original programs, chose a movie or show and select the Watch Now button.
