Pairing pre-existing cable cards with TiVo

I have two M CC's for separate TiVo HD units.  I am now having the CCI issue in VHO1 and thus need to pair my CC's to my respective devices.  Since I don't have an activation code is there a way to do this online using the Home Agent as long as I have the other information from the cards?

The pairing is something you can not do on your own, but I will be glad to assist. I have sent you a private message to get more info from you.
Thanks,
Anthony_VZ

  • Cable cards for Tivo box: two different chat reps say VZ no longer offers Cable Cards.

    Hello All,
    I've just moved to the Philly area and am in the process of getting Fios installed. I've asked the on-line chat reps about getting a cable card for my Tivo Premier and two different reps say "Jasper(23:51:37): I apologize but you would be unable to order a Cable Card as we do not provide Cable Cards anymore."
    Yet, I see questions about cable cards and Tivo tuners. Where can I obtain a Cable Card?
    Thanks, Scott
    Solved!

    They have cable cards the rep probably just doesn't know how to add it to the account.

  • Can someone help me understand how I can use cable cards with external digital tuners?

    Here's my situation.  I currently have a PC with an internal TV tuner card.  I connect the internal TV tuner card to a standard QIP2500-2 Set Top Box.  I've never been very happy with this setup, although it mostly works.  But,  I can only record or watch one channel at a time.  In addition, changing channels requires a silly IR blaster so changing channels from Windows Media Center uses the IR remote signals to change channels on the set top box.
    I was thinking I could use a product like this together with a cable card from Verizon, eliminating the set top box.  I read the FAQ here but I am still unclear about how cablecards work and what capabilities they enable.  My questions are:
    1) The FAQ says using a cablecard eliminates the use of the online TV guide.  How then does one schedule recordings in windows media center?  It would seem silly to have to still have a STB just to get the program guide.  What do others do about this?
    2) Are the cable cards provided by Verizon compatible with the above product shown in the link?  The Verizon FAQ says the device must be marked "DCR" to be compatible, but looking at all the digital tuner products at NewEgg, none of them seem to be marked with "DCR".  They say, "m-CARD".
    3) What are others out there doing to utilize FIOS TV with a computer and not have a set top box?
    Thanks for any insight!

    I haven't used the SiliconDust product, but I have been using a similar product by Ceton, for nearly five years.
    By inserting a CableCARD into the tuner, you would have access to the same channels as a set-top box. You rent a cableCARD from Verizon, just like you'd rent a set-top box from them. I have an m-card, which just allows multiple channels to be tuned at once, unlike the older s-card.
    You do, however, lose Pay Per View and on-demand programming. For me, it's not a great loss.
    The program guide is handled through Windows Media Center, which holds programming data for the next 14 days. You schedule your recordings there. It's also smart enough to reschedule shows, if there's a recording conflict (too many scheduled shows, not enough tuners)
    Although you can contunue to use an IR blaster (I use one), you can also get a Media Center companion app from Ceton. It doesn't require a Ceton tuner...it will still control Media Center. The app costs a few bucks, but it's worth it. They make it for Android and Apple, and maybe Windows Phone. It will let you manage your schedules, and use your phone/tablet as a remote control over WiFi.
    Buy a big hard drive to hold your scheduled recordings. Expect to use an average of 10-15 gigabytes per hour of HD recording. The beauty of this system, is that you can just add another hard drive whenever you need more space, sonething the STB's won't let you do.
    For service in other rooms, use an Xbox360 if you have one. Or, buy a Ceton Echo extender (again, doesn't require a Ceton tuner). Don't use Wi-Fi for your extenders. Wired Ethernet is a must...most wireless won't be able to keep up.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

    I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account.  This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card.  Is there any way to use the card like this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
    Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
    Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
    Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
    "Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
    I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
    I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

  • Drop 'N Go subnet within pre-existing network - Help with routing please

    Hello All,
    I would consider myself entry level at best when it comes to the Cisco ASA 5505, and I appreciate any help or direction that anyone would be able to provide regarding this issue I am having. I am sure there is something out there for this but I have not yet been able to figure this out with what I have found.
    So we currently have our infrastructure setup like this: modem(69.14.72.6/255.255.255.248)->ASA(192.168.1.1)->Switch->Hosts and Servers(192.168.0.X\24).
    What I am trying to do is drop in a small router somewhere within this network with its own subnet and be able to communicate back and forth to it from the 192.168.0.X network, so it will look something like this: modem->ASA->Switch->Hosts and Servers(192.168.0.X\24) && Hosts and Servers(192.168.1.X\24).
    I would like to allow this traffic flow hopefully while only having 2 interfaces configured on the ASA (Outside 0/0, and Inside 0/1-0/5) and without modifying the configuration on the Switch. A few key phrases that come to mind from my search thus far are "Hair Pinning" and "same-security-traffic permit intra-interface". Also I am aware of port-forwarding, and as I understand it this would not be practical as I would have to configure a rule for every device connected to the 192.168.1.X\24 network.
    I hope someone will be able to help me with this issue, I have been at this for 3 weeks now.
    Thanks again everyone!
    EDIT: Here are is a diagram to help explain what I am trying to do. The area shown in red is what I am trying to add to the rest of which I already have.

    Hi,
    I've made this in packet tracer (I had to use a router instead of ASA - but same principle applies.)
    This is the classic "Router on a stick" topology.
    Note: You'll need to create a trunk between the switch and R1 now that there are 2 VLANs.
    ## I've used 192.168.0.2 as the gateway address for the 192.168.0.x network, but you could in fact set up the router R1 with 192.168.0.1 as the subinterface, get everything configured, and then install the router and change the current internal address of the ASA (192.168.0.1) as per my example, at the very last minute. ##
    The ASA will need a route added for traffic back to the 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x networks.
    The 192.168.1.x network -- gateway will be 192.168.1.1
    The 192.168.0.x network -- gateway will be 192.168.0.2
    *There's no need for any of the subjects you mentioned:
     "Hair Pinning" and "same-security-traffic permit intra-interface" or port-forwarding.

  • Can I keep and use my pre-existing file structure with Aperture?

    I currently use and love Picasa.  I moved over from a PC and have all my photos in folders named by date and subject.  That keeps everything in order... and I can search easily.
    I would love to use the editing features of aperture which exceed Picasa's.  If I use Aperture, I know I can leave my pictures in the folders they are in... but does Aperture have a left sided pane that allows me to see and browse my folders as easily as Picasa?   Or is there an equivalent function?
    Any advice, particularly from someone who has used both, would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You can import your photos in their current location.  However, you won't be able to easily "browse" them from within Aperture.  Aperture is essentially a database program and so it's not for browsing file location on disk.  Photos can be anywhere, and Aperture can easily move them around.
    I'll also note: Photos that are imported into Aperture should _not_ be moved around on disk via Finder after the fact.  That is, unless manually updating their locations within Aperture is your idea of a sport or a hobby ;-)
    Aperture is a different kind of application than Picasa.  I'd suggest watching the video tutorials at www.apple.com/aperture to get some idea of how it works.

  • Tivo Cable Card issues

    I am having a serious issue with getting a cable card paired to my TiVo box. After 2 ½ years I lost most of all my channels on 7/3 and it has not worked since then. I was out of town from 7/3-7/10 and was not able to contact Comcast about this issue until 7/10. On that date the phone rep was unsuccessful of correcting this issue so she suggested that I return the card to a local office and get a replacement.
    On Sat 7/11 I picked up the replacement card as well as 2 additional cards. After working with several reps over 3 hours none of the cards could be paired with the box. So, the last rep I spoke to scheduled a tech visit on Sunday 7/12. The tech checked all the cable wires and found no connection issues. He tried for over 2 hours trying to pair the cards I had and a new card he brought with no success.
    While the tech was at my home, I called TiVo tech support that walked us through the process to determine if the card was paired correctly. They advised us that Comcast should correctly pair the card to the TiVo box. Now, I returned the last card to Comcast and picked up 2 cards. I’m up to 7 cards now. Before, I attempt to pair these cards; I would appreciate if someone at Comcast who knows how to correctly pair cable cards to TiVo boxes assist me with this process.
    Please advise the correct # to call for cable card activation.

  • Can you pay for CC aubscription with a pre-paid credit card?

    I'm interested in buying  the Photoshop CC Photography Program and  a single app subscription to Illustrator CC.   I've never liked the idea of keeping a credit cards on file with any vendor and am even more reluctant after the recent security problems.  Would it be possible to use a pre-loaded Credit card with enough funds to cover the term of the year long subscription instead?  At least then if the card is stolen it can't be linked to my real cards and other private information.

    You can go for keycard Creative Cloud subscription which can be purchased from Amazon:
    Some news & updates:
    Amazon no longer carries the CC prepaid key cards; they stopped selling them a couple months ago...
    However, places like BestBuy.com do still offer them – for the standard Creative Cloud subscriptions as well as the student/teacher editions, plus single-apps like Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC.  They also accept PayPal.
    What's more, starting this week Adobe itself now has a new prepay option available for Creative Cloud memberships, where you can pay them once annually (instead of monthly) and don't have to leave your credit card on file if you don't want to.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I use messaging in Europe even if I have a pre-paid SIM card?

    I'm going to be in Spain in May and will buy a pre-paid SIM card with a local number.  As long as I have connection to the internet, via wifi or through the phone service there, will my friends and family be able to use my regular US number to text me?  Do I need to do anything to make this work before or after I get the pre-paid SIM card there?
    I'd like this to be seamless for my friends and family to text me at the same number.

    It makes sense, marklyn9063. If you are using a tablet overseas with WiFi, you will be able to access Verizon Messages without incurring roaming charges. However, in order to receive messages, you must have an active phone number.

  • FIOS And TIVO Series # and Cable Cards

    I recently lost one tuner on my series 3 TIVO HD.  Asked for re-activation and eventually a new cable card to restore the lost tuner.  After the second visit I had nothing on either tuner.  Techs claim they have never been trained on cable cards, inventory is not controlled so they know good ones from bad ones, there is no way to test a cable card in their shops.  After and extended discussion and a visit by two senior techs and a supervisor I got back a few channels on one tuner.  I get only locals up to channel 50, USA.  I get the locals in both SD and HD so I know the tuner is working. 
    I went to the Tivo Community Bulletin Board to see if anyone else had this problem.  I found that on December 4, 2009 in Western New York TIVO owners with cable cards lost all channels above 50.  This was resolved in about one week and was clearly a back office problem with FIOS software used to authorize the cards.  I thought I could go to the national FIOS support center and get my problem fixed in the same way since this appears to be an identical problem.  NO SURPRISE. 
    Verizon national FIOS technical support refused to investigate the problem or solution with Western New York.  The one and only thing the tesch would do was to order another truck roll without any attempt to contact their center in New York.  At one point he said he did not have the telephone number and could not look it up (Verizon is one of  the largest phone companies in the country and they have no way to find an internal number in the same FIOS support organization??   
    I have a lot of respect for the techs who try to solve problems (not this one) and I expect this will be resolved once I speak to a supervisor, but why doesn't Verizon provide adequate support and training to their techs on TIVO and cable cards.  I suppose they just want to continue to push their own HD STB by making it so hard to use anything else that you eventually just give up. 
    In my humble opinion Verizon, along with the other cable providers so abuse the process of installing third party equipment that they should be prohibited form selling or renting equipment.  They should provide only the service and equipment, as was the case with ATT, should be divorced from service.  That process revolutionized phone service and it could do the same for television service. 

    well without a lot of reports from other customers in your area, they are going by the assumption that it is not an outage, and that there is no sizeable amount of customers experiencing the same issue, so they are treating it as an individual case basis.   You're right the Tech's don't have a lot of training on tivo's because they aren't supported items.  They rely on tivo technical support to support their own product.   The cable cards are a simple thing to verizon.  make sure they are activated - possibly send you a new one if their is suspicion that the cable card is bad, and 'possibly' a field tech.  field tech's aren't a whole lot of good as you have come to experience, because they are not tivo technicians. they are fios technicians and they support their own product.   
    I would reach out to the tivo bulletin boards and post your issue there, and see if there is a consensus as to what the problem is, maybe one of them have had a similiar issue.  Please remember that absent any other reports in your area, that verizon can't consider it a back end thing, if it were it would naturally affect multiple tivo customers in an identical fashion.  
    Is it possible it's the tivo box itself?  tivo's go bad just like any other piece of hardware.   
    Also keep an eye on this forum post of yours, there are others here with tivo's that have a good deal of experience, and may have ran into the problem themselves,   they may be coming along and reading the posts soon I would hope.  
    another great resource is the dslreports.com forum for issues like this.
    give them a shot too.  http://www.dslreports.com/forum/vzfiostv
    sorry about all your trouble, but for the record, if your cards only get channels upto 50 it sounds like a reactivation of those cable cards would correct it.    I can imagine that if you have talked to a supervisor and a few technicians that they would have tried that, but if you are unsure that they did, I would call back in to tech support again and ask them if they can deactivate and reactivate the cards.      normally when a verizon dvr gets 1-50, it is that same issue.   if they haven't replaced the cable cards, I would pursue that, if the reactivations don't help.

  • Multstream Cable Card Programming and TiVo

    Good Morning,
    I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having with getting our the second tuner to work on TiVo box.  We have a TiVo Series 3 HD box wit a Motorola Multstream Card.  About 4 weeks ago our original box stop working and TiVo shipped a new one.
    When we received the new box the original card would only display one tuner.  When I contacted TiVo they felt it was a problem with the card because the authorization information does not display on "Conditional Access" screen.
    It is my understanding that the authorization is performed by the technician or at the office.  It is very important that the pairing of this information is performed correctly or the box will not work.  I saw the authorization information at one point and then when I went back in 10 minutes later it was gone.  Would this be an indication of a bad card or a bad TiVo box?
    Solved!

    Your posting suggests that the box is defective.  What leads you to this conclusion?  TiVo is adamant that the problem is with the card.  Their technicians state that the TiVo box has no control over the tuning functions.  Their logic is the following: Since we are receiving all channels on one tuner and only a gray screen on the second tuner the fault lies with the adapter card.
    FYI, we are experiencing inconsistent display of data on the Conditional Access Screen.  Frequently there are only 4 lines of information when 9 lines should be present.  TiVo contends that the missing lines are consistent with an adapter card that is going bad.  This missing lines of data contain the authorization information required to display the second tuner.
    Thanks for your help, from my discussions with TiVo and Verizon is seems that this card has presented a number of problems for both organizations.  With all of the finger pointing between the two organization, think I might try to check with the card source.   Motorola might be able to provide some insight.
    Motorola does not provide any support to end-users.  You're not going to get anything from them.
    Have you verified that you have a good signal?  Are you seeing a 90-100 signal on your TiVo?  Some installers added significant attenuation to older TiVo installs, and that is no longer necessary with version 11.0d of the Tivo software.  With the current TiVo software, attenuation usually hurts more than it helps.  If you've got a borderline signal in the 50s or 60s due to substantial attenuation, that could prevent one tuner from locking on to channels (since tuner sensitivity differs slightly).
    There is a way to rule out the TiVo hardware as the cause.  To do that, you would remove the CableCard and run a Channel Scan under Settings -> Channels.   This will add a list of QAMs to your Channel List.  After the channel scan, open the Channels List under Settings -> Channels and enable (check) the QAMs from 71-74.  These are the unencrypted local channels.   Attempt to tune a different QAM in the 71-74 range on each tuner; if you can do that, you know the TiVo hardware is fine and the CableCard is the problem.  If you can't do that, then you know there is a problem with the box.

    My 3Gs is on its last legs.... I've just bought a second hand iphone 4 which is unlocked......I put my giffgaff sim card in the new phone and it says activation required ......then it asks me for a passcode???  PLEASE HELP!!!! I have no idea what to do xx

    You need to connect the phone to iTunes and then try activating it from there and restoring it as new.
    If you have further problems and especially as the iPhone you have bought is second hand, it could be that it is not unlocked.  Are you sure that it is?  If not, then you'll need to speak to the person that you purchased it from.

  • ITUNES APP STORE WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD WITH EXISTING APPLE ID

    Hey,
    I've been trying to create a free itunes app store account. First I read the instructions in this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, but the link shows how to create a new account, the problem is that I already have a Apple ID.
    On the other hand when I try to sign in in the app store with my existing Apple ID, I get the message "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store please review your account information" with two options "cancel" and "review".
    Clicking in review, I go to the page with the terms of service, continuing I go to a page where I have to type my email, my password, question and answer for the password and my birth date. The email field has the email that is being used with my current Apple ID, and the password field has the password of my existing Apple ID. The other fields are blank. Completing them, and clicking in next I go to the payment options page, but there's no "none" option, so I can't make a account withou using a credit card.
    Is there a way to create a itunes app store without a credit card with my existing apple ID, or a I have to create a new one ?

    few days already..
    it seems like a bug..
    actually i can use another email to log on..
