I thought these things were too simple to die, but all my TiVo would tell me when I got home was Cablecard error 161-1, and the consensus of all the google searches seemed to be that the card was dead. Fortunately the comcast office was nearby and open till 7, so I popped over there and the guy at the counter actually recognized the 161-1 error code and agreed that the cable card was dead, even more amazing, they had a spare cable card to give me. Got the new one in now, but as soon as I did that it started updating the firmware which looks like it will take a long time. Hope I don't have any problems getting it activated once the firmware is updated.

Help Please, Very Strange 1G Router Problem??
Tivo Stream and Transfer Issues:
Equipment: Five Tivo Devices, Four Mobile Devices, 1 Gigabyte Router, all hardwired via Cat 5 Ethernet In House cabling.
I installed a new Netgear R6250 1 Gigabyte router and my Tivo’s started having problems.
One Tivo only in my Office (within 3’ from Router)
• Streams are very slow: Can not play, keeps giving error messages.
• Transfers are very slow: Runs at .98mbs takes over 53 minutes to stream a 30 minute show, verses 80.7mbs, which took 4.37 minutes for the same HD Best Quality show on Bedroom to Living Room transfer.
Two Tivos, Living Room Roamio Pro & Bedroom XL4:
• Multi-Room Streams and Transfers are fine.
• iPad Streams and Transfer very slow or does not work.
Tivo Desktop, on Windows 7 and/or 8:
•Tivo Roamio to Desktop very slow then stops transferring.
I tried everything (see list below) but nothing worked until as a last resort I reinstalled the old Router (Belkin FSD7234A) 10/100, 2.4Mh.
Wala …. everything works again.
I have checked all the router settings and cannot find any settings which seem to be causing the problems.
I have connected the Office XL4 Tivo with Cat 6 directly to the new 1G router, still does not work.
Questions: Why does the new 1GB router cause the slowness on one Tivo but not the others? What is stopping iPad streaming and the Tivo Desktops from working?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Steps Tried to Solve (with 1GB Router Installed):
1. ReStart/Reset Tivo
2. Power down Start Up.
3. Power cycle Router, Hubs, Switches, and all Tivos, at same time.
4. Installed all new Ethernet cables between Router and Office Tivo.
5. Checked other Transfer and Stream timing on other Tivo’s and computers.
6. Ran Speedtest.net. Results = 66.12Mbps download, 4.34Mbps upload.
7. Ran Tutosoft.com to test LAN Speed. Results = 428.9Mbps Write, 608.2Mbps Read.
8. Changed Network IP Address, changed Static to Dynamic
9. Checked Router firewall settings.
10. Checked Router for the proper ports being open.
11. Connected Office Tivo directly to Router with new Ethernet cable.
12. Verify Media Access Key.
13. Called Tivo Support, but they could not help me.
14. Reinstall Original Router.

android app and season pass
Why cant I change the channel of a season pass on the android app?
Also why when I try to change a setting for a season pass it reverts to the lowest number channel the show is on?

external storage drawbacks?
I have a Western digital external hard drive with ESATA that I am not using for anything. Will any ESATA drive work with the roamio? Are there any drawbacks to adding external storage?
