.... and so it begins. Since the FCC dropped the cable card requirement, Spectrum can indeed do this. It's funny that the FCC justified dropping the mandate by saying companies would continue cable card support anyway without the mandate. We see how long that lasted.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do. However, since support reps have claimed no cable card support since the beginning of time, it's possible they're lying. So I would call back a couple of times and keep trying to get a card. Just tell them you have a Tivo and need a card and tuning adapter. If you don't have any luck, then it's time to put the Tivo on ebay and either get a Spectrum DVR/service or an online streaming service like Youtube TV, Fubo, Philo, etc.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I was on TVision for a few years and the pictures were great but the reliability was not there. Let's see if lowering the level helps with the macro blocking. Ck your TA diagnostics and report back.

You might want to give TVision a second look. It has been replaced by Youtube TV plus a $10/month discount, bringing the price down to $55, and you get the full Youtube TV service with 9 month DVR, 6 profiles, and PBS, all of which AT&T TV/DirecTV Stream lack.
