TV service through Cable Card on TiVo has stopped working

Since yesterday all channels display a black screen with the message: "This channel is not authorized. Contact your cable provider for more information V58)". My service is through cable card in my TiVo. I have reset the TiVo multiple times with no luck in restoring my TV service. How can I get support?

@Magicspell Thank you for posting on our community forum! I want to stick with you until we make sure all your Xfinity channels are working. Are you able to verify if the TiVo Diagnostics shows the cable card is paired and authorized?

@XfinityEmilyB​  Thank you for the follow-up.  Yes, TiVo diagnostics reports the cable card is paired and functioning properly (receiving a signal).  BTW, this system has been functioning for well over 10+ years.

I'm having the exact same problem that started at the same time.  Spent hours on the phone so far and had a technician come out that wasn't able to solve it this morning

Spent the entire day Sunday with support.  We were unable to resolve the issue and they opened a ticket to get specialized support.  Unfortunately, the issue hasn't be resolved for me yet either.
