cable card pairing

I am transferring a cable card from one TIVO unit to another and need help pairing the card with the new unit. Like many members, pairing using the online portal has failed. I have called the activation help line twice, yesterday spoke with agent Omar [Edited: "Personal Information"] who assured me that the unit pairing would be completed after a "backup" in 3 hours, but it still is not communicating the next day.  Can I send a direct message with the cable card specifics so that the appropriate person can complete the pairing?  This appears to be solution described in other posts on this subject.

Thanks,

P. [Edited: "Personal Information"]

We have no longer paired cards with new unit for quite some time now. Since the Cable card support has sunset, you would have access to the currently paired and activated units, but the options to migrate the card to a new unit is pretty slim. Is this a similar unit or a different/newer model?

I have been using the cable card with a TIVO bolt which failed and am simply transferring the card to an equivalent TIVO unit.  I have seen posts in the customer service forum of other users even in that last few days that have been able to do exactly that. I posted my message also in that forum.
