Adding a CableCard

Hello!

I would like to add another Tivo to my home system, can I still add a CableCard to my account?

Thank you!

better get them while you can. Comcast will stop issuing new cable cards around 10/24.

I was told at my local office that if any of my existing cards ever go bad, his feeling (as a manager) is Comcast would support customers with an existing card (my inquiry was about getting extra cards to hold onto in reserve)

Thank you for reaching out @Chris01. On your billing statement you should have seen a notice that starting on October 24, 2024, Xfinity will no longer provide new CableCARDs to new or existing customers. I want to be sure we can get everything figured out for you with your service. Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!

I've also been told today that Xfinity will not even pair existing working cable cards to new Tivos. I tried getting through to customer service several times which was pointless, and finally had a tech come out that informed me of this. The money I just dropped on a new Edge for Cable with all-in-service, to replace an older one that was burning up hard drives, was just a waste.

I was told my the manager of my local service center that "he could make it work, if something happens, as long as its on your account by 10/24"... now he may have been just blowing smoke, but if you are close to one of these places, you may want to plead your case, and see if they can do an override
