Given that this is working fine for a number of people it's more likely 
a Cox related problem. You should try running:

scan -A2 US-Cable_Center-Frequencies (google the exact center 
frequencies filename or look in /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/something....) 
at the scanning files.

Also try the IRC/HRC equivalent frequency tables.

If you're lucky 'scan' will generate a new channels.conf for you, and 
the world will be a happy shiny Digital Cable loving place.
