Tivo cable card

It appears the Cable Card in my Tivo Bolt stopped working.  A generic chat tech told me to exchange it, but my understanding is that they are not supported anymore.  I believe it just needs to be re-paired.  Can this still be accomplished?  I tried calling 877-405-2298 but could not get past the annoying AI to get to the cable card support.

Howdy mangoManCC,and thanks for stopping by our community! I know how important Tivo setups are to people still committed to them, so we're happy to help however we can in attempting to get your channels back. When it comes to cable card pairings, they don't ever un-pair by themselves or without manual action, so unless you've requested your current cards to be paired to any different Tivo units recently, it would not lose the pairing it is already connected with. That said, since cable cards are not serviced or supported anymore, our actions can be pretty limited. 

From our end we'd only be able to verify the current pairing of the card as well as send a refresh hit to the card itself which can bring your channels back in a lot of cases. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the full service address associated with your account, we'd be glad to start getting those hits sent 👍
