Deactivation of Older Versions of Cablecards in Early January.
What Happened:
I have had a SiliconDust Prime Tuner since 2013 on my system for recording purposes.
Early January I notice the turner was not getting authorization from the network.
Called to have it reactivated.
After some time on the phone with the Tech it was determined that you (Comcast) had removed older Cablecards and mine was one of them, from the network and it had to be replaced with a newer version.
Tech ordered a replacement Cablecard of the new version.
The order somehow became 2 each Cablecards and each was sent via UPS in separate boxes.
Why, they are only slightly larger than a credit card. One Shipping box could easily be packed with 10 or more Cablecards.
So, for each card you billed me $15 shipping, $30 Total!
I asked, Why did Comcast not send out any notification prior to removing a customers device from the network. Better yet why did they not just send a new Cablecard before making changes?
I was told, Oh you are wrong, We always notify a customer prior to deactivating old equipment. We send emails. Wrong I check my email history for months before and there were not any emails addressing this hardware change!
You pride yourself on customer support, for this action you Flunk!

Do you read the notes on your billing statements? Notifications of changes are usually found there.
