CableCard re-activation
I had two active CableCards in Tivo DVRs, and one of the cards just died. I moved the still working card to my main Tivo, and have been trying for two days to get someone to activate it for me. I have spoken to 5 different people, all with no luck. Many didn't understand what a CableCard was, and two transferred me to "someone that could help" that was really a recording saying the department was closed. The last person I spoke to was familiar with CableCards, but said that they aren't supported. He also said that the department was really closed because it no longer exists.
I see in this forum that it's not uncommon for people to be told that CableCards are no longer supported, but I also see threads from this month where cards were activated.
Could someone please assist me with getting my card reactivated? Please do not direct me to the activation website that hasn't been active for a long time. Thanks!

Well, the sixth try calling the number was the trick. I finally got connected to someone that could re-activate my card. I am thankful that it works, but I wish Xfinity could educate the teams so that it didn't take so many attempts and so that they weren't incorrectly saying that we could no longer use the cards.
