Cox Contour set top boxes

After seeing the internet speeds doubling, I'm thinking of possibly switching to cox for everything.
Looked at their site and saw you have an option to get more than 1 contour box (and they cost the same as regular HD boxes to rent). Does this mean you can have more than dvr and record more than 6 shows at a time, or can you only have 1 per house? How would that work?
If AT&T doesn't offer me a discount on my service, I might jump ship.

I'm not sure I quite follow, but you need is one main Contour Record 6 HD-DVR Receiver $8.50/mo and then however many Contour HD-DVR Receivers you'd like.
Either way I highly recommend switching to take advantage of all their 2 year promotions. Make sure you get the absolute best deal. Cox iternet is absolutely incredible. I am highly pleased. Also another thing is sometimes it's actually cheaper to bundle the 3 services even if you don't care for a house phone at all. It makes no sense, but it is absolutely true.

When I went through the setup to order, it gives you an option to add 3 DVR's. Does that mean you can record up to 18 shows?

Also, is it record 6 HD channels at once, or record 4 HD and 2 SD?

I suppose so, but more practical to just get the receivers to go with 1 whole home dvr.
I see the price per renting the boxes is equal between the two types, however to get 3 whole home dvrs then it looks like the DVR service in itself will be much more expensive. Do you kind of understand.. but yes I would believe if you had 3 of the whole home dvrs then yes you could record 3 x 6 shows at once equaling 18 at once.. but wow that is some serious recording..

It's 6 HD if you like.
It does not matter between HD or SD

thanks!
AT&T says you can record 4, but only 3 at the same time in HD.
Dish and the Hopper let's you record 6 shows in HD, but 4 of those can only be from the major networks, (CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox)

6 HD at once, main reason I stayed away from Uverse.

One last question, before I make the switch over.
Do you need coaxial cables run to each box, or can you use an ethernet cable?
