ACTIVATING THE CABLECARD:
To activate an M-CARD correctly, the coaxial cable must be connected
to the back of the DVR before choosing to activate the CableCARD.
Cable-assisted installations:
Cable company installers need to access the CableCARD pairing screen
inside of the installer options screen when installing a TiVo DVR. The menu
displaying the CableCARD ID, Host ID, and Data ID is set to automatically
display on screen when a CableCARD is inserted.
If for any reason this screen does not appear, the guide below shows how
to navigate to the CableCARD menu to properly activate the CableCARD.
Self-installation:
Cable companies offer activation options for installations performed
without a cable-company installer present. The list below provides
activation information for common cable service providers. If you do not
see a self-installation phone number for the chosen cable service, please
check the cable provider information kit for help with self-installation.
Depending on the provider, the CableCARD ID and Host ID from the TiVo
DVR may be required. Follow the guide for navigating to the CableCARD
installer’s menu found in the cable-assisted installation section of this guide.
