Re-paring TVIO cable card

"My TiVo is getting a V58 Channel Not Authorized error. I need a support agent to completely unpair my CableCARD from my account, delete the old entries, manually type in my Host ID and CableCARD ID numbers, and push a cold hit (Validation signal) to the card."

user_dbwua0 Thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums, and sharing what you've already tried. For anyone troubleshooting TiVo and CableCARD issues, Xfinity has information available here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/about-cablecards and https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/pair-activate-cablecard.

 

A V58 error can be related to authorization or pairing, so I have a few questions:

  • Is the error showing on all channels or just certain ones?
  • Did this start recently, or has the TiVo been working normally until now?
  • Are the Host ID and CableCARD ID displaying correctly in the TiVo diagnostics screen?

Your answers may help determine whether this is a pairing issue, an authorization issue, or something else entirely.
