Cox Adds New Standard and High Definition Channels
Hampton Roads, VA – Cox Hampton Roads has announced that significant improvements have been made to the Cox digital channel line up. Effective August 2, 2007, five new digital channels have been added: Bloomberg Television, NASA TV, The Pentagon Channel, The Africa Channel and Go Scout Autos. New high definition channels of existing channels have also been added; A&E HD, National Geographic HD and Starz HD. And, subscribers in West Point, New Kent and King and Queen County will now have access to Fox and CBS in HD on WTVR (CBS HD) and WRLH (Fox HD) respectively.
In order to make maximum use of the Cox network and allow Cox Hampton Roads to continue to provide new channels and other new products and services to our customers, some channels that were on Cox Basic Cable have been moved to Cox Digital Cable. Effective July 18, 2007, HBO2, Cinemax and Showtime will no longer be available as premium analog channels and will become available only with a digital receiver. HBO will still be available on analog on Cox Channel 21.
"We are thrilled to offer our customers even more diverse programming and additional HD channels," stated Gary McCollum, Vice President and Region Manager, Cox Hampton Roads. "At Cox, we are always looking for ways to improve the products and services we offer.

Let me start by saying Cox is top of the line. Their 24 hour support has helped me many times over the years. No matter how hard to figure out what was going on, they made sure I was completely satisfied before getting off the phone. This goes for the cable and internet service. Thanks again Cox!!!

We love Cox on demand movies. The price is the same as any video store and with the price of gas these days it saves that trip to the video store.

I love my Cox services. I have digital cable, phone and high speed internet. I have been pleasantly suprised at how rarely the cable or internet goes out. The internet is very fast which I love:) It makes doing business, playing games or surfing the web, easy and enjoyable. Thank you Cox.

I love Cox Cable and the DVR service is the BEST! Program it once and never miss a show. We moved last year and the Cox guy worked with me to ensure that I kept my same box so I would not have to reprogram a new one with all the shows. Seems like a small thing but everyone in the family was happy the transition was so easy! Julie A. Williamsburg, VA
I highly recommend that all Cox high speed internet users take advantage of the new McAfee security package... McAfee Security has excellent features and runs in the background without slowing down your computer operating system.
