Cablecard with an X1 4k set-top box

Hi - I currently use a CableCard with my own TiVo DVR. I just upgraded to the TV Plus cable plan where one X1 4k set-top box is included. 

Can I use both a CableCard and X1 4k set-top box without monthly fees? I believe I should be able to have no fees with one box.

Thanks!

Hi, @user_x1ts9t! Thanks for signing up for the TV Plus channels! For your CableCARD question, I would need to check your account to answer this for you. You would need to have a CableCARD code as part of your package. It is grandfathered so If that billing code is present, you can use the CableCARD. If not, we do not have a way to add that billing code for you so you could use it.
