Today, I received a package from Time Warner: two tuning adapters and two cable cards. These were the tuning adapters I ordered two weeks ago that I now no longer need because TW could not figure out why they had not been sent yet and sent a tech out instead. Fortunately, I used one of the new cable cards to replace a non-functioning one and just had it paired successfully. I now have closure.
And now a haiku:
All Tivos are GO
Activate couch potato
Now entertain us
The cable guy came out again today. No one would believe me that the Tivo Series 3 needs 2 cable cards even if one of them is an M-card…until one card only activated one tuner like I said would happen.
When they finally believed me and tried to add the second card, for some reason, it wouldn’t pair.
Then, Time Warner told me something ludicrous about the Tivo, which I confirmed was ludicrous when I called Tivo. Now I have to call Time Warner back to figure it all out. Not fun and a waste of my time.
On the plus side, Time Warner called and I think I will definitely get my tuning adapters tomorrow.
So, now I have one Tivo with two tuners that gets half the channels and one Tivo with one tuner that gets half the channels.
And now a haiku:
Cable card failure
One tuner is not enough
What’s it gonna take?
