Need help with CableCard Validation

I have 2 cablecards and they are working on HDHomeRun with the exception of DRM channels. From what I can figure out the lack of validation on the cards is the issue. The online activation never finds my cards and I've talked to multiple reps at comcast (one card I've had for over a year) who don't seem to understand how to correct this (the last one said I was their first cablecard call). Is there some way I can get connected with an employee who does know how to resolve this?

Anyone at Xfinity that can direct me as to how to get help with this? I have 2 cable cards that work for non-premium channels - the cards show:

Card Authentication: Success

Card ODB Lock: Success (one card shows weak here)

Card Validation: none

 

So I suspect its the validation this is the issue. This is used in a SiliconDust box.

Mine shows the same:

Card ManufacturerArris/Motorola
Card Authenticationsuccess
Card Validationnone
3DES encryption

supported

And it works fine for the channels I'm paying for.  I have it in an hdhomerin prime and use the Channels app on AppleTV.

Thanks for the info. I do get channels on the channels app - just no premium (hbo, showtime, etc) that I do get normally. At a loss how to fix it 😞

 

I seem to have same setup as you and the arris card - but I don't have an entry for 3DES. It's not listed at all.
