\if you can't get the app to work directly on the quest, then you may just be able to view the cox contour tv on the Q2's inbuilt browser.

Negative on viewing cox contour on the Q2 browser, I tried it, no go. I sideloaded Chrome (many versions) and it’ll load onto Q2 but will not open up. Any advice on which version of chrome will work?? Thx in advance.

I had similar issues with the virgin TV go app that wouldn't run on the Q2 but I was able to access the TV go website using the browser.

You could try the Mozilla firefox reality browser which may work. https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2180252408763702/?locale=en_GB

Failing that, try raising a support ticket with oculus.

I downloaded the Mozilla Firefox Reality browser, and I actually could see my cable providers "guide". But unfortunately when I tried to watch any of the content I got a error code: 9002.14007. Thx for your help, I imagine my next step will be putting in a trouble ticket with Oculus.

Has anyone had any luck sideloading google chrome using the Sidequest program. I can download it to my Q2 but it won't open up, if you were successful could you please let my know which version of Chrome you used. I'm trying to watch my cable TV through my Q2 and I'm hoping that maybe the right browser might be the answer, thx for all the help in advance.

Sorry to hear that it's still not working for you. If you do get it working, can you let us know, as it may help others with a similar issue in the future.
 
Just ordered two of those BoboVR head straps for myself and my daughter from AliExpress. I’ve been itching to pick up some accessories for the Quest as I love a good tinker, but there doesn’t seem much that truly maximises bang for buck beyond the head straps. I’d love one of the magnetised gun stocks, but for circa £85 I just don’t play enough of those games to justify it.

Beyond that there’s just a lot of copy cat products, slight alternatives, or simple tat. Charger sets would be good if I played for long enough, but the sound quality of the headset truly impresses me so I’ve never seen the value in the earphones.

I do have a set of the ceiling mounted pulley systems which I really rate when I can’t game in the same room as the router.

Ours might come at the same sort of time then. Let me know how you get on with yours!

When I asked of Oculus trouble shooting about the issue:

"When I try to watch my cable TV service on the Q2 either with the Oculus browser, or the Firefox VR browser it fails to work. When I use the Firefox VR browser I get a error code 9002.14007 when I try and view a program"

How Oculus support responded:

Thank you for contacting Oculus Support, My name is Aaron.
I know connection issues can be frustrating, I have a few troubleshooting steps for you to try to get you viewing tv on your headset.

  • Uninstall and reinstall the application
  • Reset the headset
Also to look further into the issue you are experiencing, can you provide the Logs you are seeing.

Thank you.
Aaron

...not much help,

Question: If I were to download "Virtual Desktop"...could I run my cable provider app "Contour TV" on my desktop and watch it on my Q2??

Thx for all your input Drakulton, I hope all is well in the UK, I live in the state Rhode Island USA.

That sounds like it would work. you may not even have to buy/download virtual desktop, as there's a desktop icon in the oculus PC dashboard. You could stream the PC contour app to your Q2 using air link depending on your router setup.

Don't mind me, I'm a 60 yr old trying to keep up with the ever changing technical world. Is airlink a separate app?? So could I stream from my "smart phone" to Q2??

So, no I can't stream from my Samsung phone??, I can only stream from my desktop computer??

When we say stream, we mean run the game on your PC, having that do the work, and enjoy the higher resolution and better graphics (if you have a good enough card) in your headset whilst gaming.

Are you talking about casting? When you send what you are viewing in your headset, to your phone, so others can see what you are doing?
 
Ge Can said:
No, just the opposite, what I'm viewing on my phone/desktop I see on Q2. Q2's browser doesn't support my cable company's website to watch https://watchtv.cox.com/ so I figured that I could watch it on my phone/desktop and mirror it to Q2. I hope this clarifies the issue.

If you run the contour app on your PC and enable the oculus PC 'air link' feature on your PC, and also enable the 'air link function on your Q2. If your router is up to it, you should be able to send the desktop image via wifi from the PC/router to the Q2
