I own a TIVO HD box, brand new; actually it is the second one I bought - returned the first. I use Cablevision in Long Island as my provider and use two Cablecards in the box.
I keep getting a 161-1 and 160-2 error message. Per TIVO these are Cablecard error messages. The TIVO does not recongnize the card in Slot 2, slot one works fine but with only one card I can record two programs at once - one of the main reasons I bought this specific unit. Cablevision has changed the cablecard six times and the problem still happens. I thought it was the TIVO itself and returned the first one back to AMAZON; the one I have now is 4 days old and the problem still happens.
These are NDS cards, not Motorola or Scientific America which are better cards. If I had one multi-stream card I was told this problem would not occur. But Cablevision, although a Long Island based company, does not offer multi-stream cards to Long Island customers at this time
So - has anyone ever experienced these problems? If so, were yu able to fix the problem? If so, how?
I am 99% sure I have to return this box as well and either go back to Cabevision's DVR or get another DVR (suggetions?).
Any help would be appreciated.
