Cable card
I’m using a TiVo system with a Comcast cable card. The cable card is not working and will not update the firmware. Is there any way to get it updated or a new card? I called customer service and they said they are no longer supporting cable cards

Good morning @user_feg9u6 as of October 24, 2024, Xfinity no longer provides or supports CableCARD to new or existing customers. Suppose you previously used a CableCARD and are in need of video equipment. In that case, CableCARD customers upgrading to an Xfinity X1 TV Box are eligible for a $0 x 12 month promotional offer to add up to two X1 boxes. For assistance taking advantage of this offer, you can stop by an Xfinity store or send us a DM here and our team would be happy to assist.

If the card is a Scientific-Atlanta/Cisco/Technicolor PowerKEY card, it may have died due to a date-related internal flaw.
