I'd try unplugging the Tivo for a minute or so. If the same message comes up, try a different Cablecard. If you still get the message, the Tivo is probably bad. 0 Kudos Posted by d_akersd 10-17-2015 08:52 PM Frequent Visitor View All Member Since: 09-11-2008 Posts: 11 Message 4 of 7 (957 Views) Re: New Tivo Roamio cablecard 161-1 Options Mark as New Bookmark Subscribe Subscribe to RSS Feed Highlight Print Report I should also add that once I plug in the cablecard, every 5 min or so tivo pops up a message: CableCARD Error A technical prob

I wondered if card error you can help with a problem that seems to be a huge problem for Comcast. I have a TiVo premiere which I use with Comcast's cable TV. Last Tuesday 9.10.13 I began cable service after putting my account in suspension while I was away. I picked up a cable card from the local Comcast store and called Comcast when I returned home to activate the service. This usually takes minutes. However, the card error 161-1 card was defective and couldn't be read by my TiVo. Comcast was supposed to bring out another cable card. Twice they failed to bring out the cards. Thursday night I did some trouble shooting after I saw I was getting error 161-1 when I put the cable card in my TIVO. I did 3 procedures (all on the card) and got it to work. Then I called Comcast to activate my system. They failed. The reason, they told me, is that last April, when I returned a cable card and suspended my cable TV for a while, Comcast unpaired a host ID from my TiVo in a way that they hadn't done before (something about some "deep" programming technique) and now they can't pair the Host ID with my TiVo. They escalated the problem and said I would hear from my local Comcast (in CA) about their fixing the problem. I never received this call on 9.13.13, so I called the activation telephone line to find out what was going on. They couldn't tell me. It seems that the activation line is located in the Philippines and they have no direct number to the programming department in CA so they can't find out what's going on. Is there a way to solve this

Please call your cable operator and report error code 161-0 to have this problem resolved. CableCARD: M-CARD reset This is normal in most cases for Motorola cards - it indicates that the CableCARD received a firmware upgrade through the cable system. This message is common when a Motorola card is activated as activation often triggers a firmware upgrade of the card. Why this occurs: when the card receives a firmware upgrade via the cable system it needs to be restarted. The card indicates a fake "fatal error" to the host (HDHomeRun Prime) so the host restarts the card. There is no mechanism to distinguish between the card reporting a real error (bad) and the card restarting due to a firmware upgrade (normal).
