It then escalated to giving us 161-52 and 161-38 errors. I called Comcast and the guy said that my cable card was defective (I'm using one multistream card) and to take it to the local comcast store and swap it for a new one. I did that and am still getting the same errors. I called Comcast back and this time the guy I talked to told me that those error codes mean that the Tivo is defective and there is nothing wrong with the card. He said to contact Tivo. Comcast is notorious, as far as I'm concerned, about passing the buck and taking the easy way out with things like this, so I don't trust them. It took four calls for me to get the card initialized properly when I first was setting it up. I've searched this forum and also googled, and am not finding anything useful about those codes. Does anyone know what they mean, or better yet, does anyone have any ideas for how to resolve this? If I need to make a warranty claim, I will, but I don't want to go off on a wild goose chase.

Error Code 161-38″ intermittently since we bought our TiVo HD DVR back in May. I read the TiVo blogs on our web site and talked with John (Sr.) about it. I was wondering what other (clean & useful) solutions are out there. Details: We're using a Cox' Multi-stream cable card. The first one was defective on installation (no HD channels). This one works most of the time with these annoying problems: 1. Recordings cut off early 2. The signal is completely lost 3. This message appears: CableCard Error CableCard1 Error code 161-38 Press SELECT to continue 4. HD stations like STARZ do not show up on the guide, but we can type in the channel (e.g. 266) and get the station. Stations that aren't on the guide can't be pre-recorded. Cox doesn't know what http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=401364 this error code means. TiVo couldn't find it either. (BTW it's a TiVo error code.) TiVo does have some troubleshooting tips: re-seat the cable card, reboot TiVo, replace the M-Stream card with two S-Stream cards and so on. I Googled the error code (mimicking the CSR) and found pages of customer complaints against Cox. None of these recomendations has helped other customers. No one has found a robust solution, either. They do say that getting Cox to send a truck out is a waste of time. One guy http://copolillo.com/?p=707 said his HD TiVo worked great in Texas with another compay's cable card, but he's had nothing but trouble with the same unit using the Cox cable cards.

Words (nice ones) cannot express my anger, frustration, and disgust with customer service in the modern era. It is no wonder people "go postal", when no one at the service companies seem to care at all about the problem, just the fact that you pay your bill within 10 seconds of the due date or they send collections after you. Not to derail your identical tale, but this is exactly what I am suffering now - and while I blame Cox and call them nearly every single day about this problem, nothing is being done. they send guys out, with the threa

An HD and an XL. Both are connected to wireless APs. Been having a problem transferring since day one of having two devices. Actually it's more like since day three of having two devices. When initially connected, both TiVos could see each other and see the Now Playing / My Shows list, and transfer recordings between the two. After a couple of days, one or the other would simply no longer show up on the other device. Transferring was more one way at that point. Recently I changed the non-TiVo WAP for a legitimate TiVo WAP and viola it worked again... for two days. Now even th
