V58 error through Tivo

I lost power to my TiVo box, and receiver - now everything is back up and running (including xfinity stream), but none of my LiveTV channels through Tivo show - just a total black screen - all channels and a V58 Channel not authorized error.

I have gone through over 6 hours of talking or texting with support. I’m on my 3rd cable card, and even bought a new TiVo box. Still can’t get live tv it’s been several months and we’re still paying our monthly for cable tv, which we can’t use. My last round texting with support (after 2 hours) the rep said xfinity is not compatible with TiVo, then ended the text session without allowing me to respond. TiVo and Xfinity both say they are compatible. I guess the only answer now is to just get rid of xfinity.

We're having the same exact problem. Lost power to my TiVo box, and receiver - now everything is back up and running (including xfinity stream), but none of my LiveTV channels through Tivo show - just a total black screen - all channels and a V58 Channel not authorized error. We are on our second cable card and when we call Xfinity to get help pairing, we have the "Information is not available" on the Cable Card Pairing screen so we can't give Xfinity the Host ID, etc. If you have any suggestions for us, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello @jsleikestivo we're so sorry to hear about these problems with the Tivo after that power outage! We do need that device info for the CableCard, but may be able to retrieve that from our end once we have the account verified.
