    What are Tivo's plans if / when Comcast stops supporting new cable cards. I just upgraded my service and had to a) rent an Xfinity box at $5 / mo and b) go through a rigmarole to keep my cable card.

    sweet home, al
    it's been reported that comcast will support cablecards through 2031, but it doesn't mean the support will be at the current level of service - they've already introduced channels as iptv only, and even converted a few.

    in our market, there's no hassle with cablecards, i just renewed my service, and the rep verified the 2031 support commitment.

    but, with all things comcast, anything has the option to change with 30 days notice...

    My Spectrum could say that and I would ask: when did you start supporting them? Don’t mind me, just bitter about 10 years of poor TA support before I cut cable 15 months ago. :)
