TiVo Stopped Working: Channel Not Authorized (V58)

Hello. One of my TiVos stopped working, displaying the message that the channel is not authorized and that I should contact my cable company. So I did, and ultimately learned, after 2 or 3 calls and a visit by a tech, that cable cards are no longer supported by Xfinity, and that my TiVo was obsolete. One person, the only person who was knowledgeable about cable cards, said I needed a new one, and dispatched the tech I mentioned above. The card seems to be paired correctly. I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Scare up a card on eBay myself? Any advise will be appreciated. We would miss our TiVo sorely! Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, I'm having the same problem.  I guess as the "new joisey" guys would say, "fo'get about it".  LOL (NOT).  TiVo is obsolete to Comcast customers now, so there goes all of our $$$ invested in TiVos.  (we have 3 of them).  /s/ Barry

Hi @MikeTheSlacker as of October 2024 Some CableCARD models no longer compatible with Xfinity TV service (i.e. PKM600 and PKM800) If the card was paired successfully, we can perform a few troubleshooting steps. We are limited with this however we can definitely give it a try! To do so just send us a direct message with your full name and service address to get started.
