CableCard billing codes missing

When a Xfinity store added an XB8 to my account the billing codes for my CableCard/TIVO were removed. Can someone at Xfinity put the billing cdrs back?

Hello @Martin_OD_72 Generally, no, you cannot have CableCARDs re-added to your Xfinity plan after they've been removed, or TV service has been changed or removed. Xfinity has discontinued providing new CableCARDs to any customers and, once deactivated, they cannot be reactivated or re-added to your account.

I did not ask or agree to change my account. I told your Xfinity Store clerk that I was under a contract and I did not want to make any changes, He assured me there would be no changes to my TV service. He was just adding the XB8. My TIVO hasn't worked since Thursday July 17. I understand that your not adding any new CableCards but this is different. I been using my TIVO with Xfinity for many years and I did not agree to change. Your Xfinity Store clerk made the change without my knowledge. I also understand if my CableCard was broken it could not be replaced. Please help.

I completely understand @Martin_OD_72, if it hasn't been removed from your account there may be a few things we can try to troubleshoot.

If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.

Did you get your cable card re-activated?  I'm in a similar situation, I have an existing cable card in a spare Tivo that  got deactivated.  I'd like to re-activate it but the online Self Installation doesn't appear to work any more even though it is still available....ugh!
