Just discovered that my "Slot 1" cablecard reader needs to be replaced on my TivoHD (after spending time with Time Warner and Tivo customer support and trying multiple M-cards). I'm having trouble finding a source for replacement parts or definitive knowledge about the cablecard readers themselves.
My understanding is that Slot 1 and Slot 2 are not handled the same way - the M-card must go in Slot 1 - can someone confirm? And some other questions: are the 2 readers for those slots identical from a hardware point of view? Can I swap the reader for Slot 2 with the reader for Slot 1 and get the M-card working? Is removing the reader easy to do? (I've done hard drive upgrades, so I'm comfortable unscrewing things and attaching/detaching cables, but is that all it involves?)
If not, are there any good places to get this particular part or am I better off harvesting one from another TivoHD (from eBay or wherever)?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
