		<description><![CDATA[Please note the last update at the bottom of this post. The issue was once again solved by a firmware update from Toshiba. &#8212; It took more than a month of back and forth to get the CableCARD working in the first place. Once the CableCARD was set up properly and the firmware for the Toshiba TV had been corrected everything was great&#8230; for a little more than 4 years. Then came Tuesday, September 8 2009 and everything changed. If you&#8217;ve read my prior posts about Comcast and using a CableCARD you&#8217;ll see that it was a huge ordeal to get the CableCARD working in the first place. The CableCARD is now not working properly. Many channels are working, but there are a large number that do not. When flipping to one of the channels the is not working the TV shows a black screen, then it goes to channel 3 and a message comes up stating the CableCARD is acquiring the channel information. Then once this information has been acquired, the TV changes to channel 1, but sometimes another channel. I went through all of the HD channels to note which ones do not work. Here is the list: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article on ConsumerFury tells how at one point Time Warner cable stated that they would not provide CableCards to customers with Tivo Series 3 PVRs. This caused much outrage, and Time Warner has appologized. Read more after the jump. ConsumerFury.com:Time Warner Cable blocking customers from using upcoming Tivo Series 3! This story took about 48 hours to spark national outrage at Time Warner Cable over the astounding ignorance of their customer support employees. This resulted in untold numbers of angry emails and phone calls to Time Warner Cable across the country. The end result was a policy change, customer support education, and an apology from Time Warner Cable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a period of time when I had to deal with a CableCARD problem. I posted all of the knowledge that I had gained up here on this blog. There has been an extremely large number of people who have read about my problem and its resolution. I hope that the information has been helpful. The CableCARD in my Toshiba RPTV has been functioning flawlessly on Comcast&#8217;s system since the firmware upgrade. Since I have not had any problems lately, I have not been keeping abreast of the latest in CableCARD news. Please leave a comment on this article if you are having problems with a CableCARD. I will try to do my best to help provide you with further information. If you have had a problem with a CableCARD and then resolved the problem, please comment as well and let me know what solved the problem. My goal is to collect as much information about CableCARD problems and their resolutions here. This should make it not only easier for us, but also easier for cable companies like Comcast and Adelphia.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Toshiba has shipped me the new firmware, Seine 1.5.0. The television is working flawlessly thus far. I would like to thank those at Comcast and Toshiba who worked so hard to resolve this problem. If you have a Toshiba television that is not working on the Comcast system, here are the steps that you should take: Call Toshiba. Explain the symptoms that you are having. Let them know that you have a Motorola CableCARD from Comcast. Ask the CSR politely if they would please send you the Seine 1.5.0 update for your television. If they do not know of this update, ask them to have Paul call you back. Wait about a week and a half for the firmware to arrive. Install the firmware following the instructions that arrived with it. If the CableCARD still does not work, call Comcast and schedule to have a technician fix your problem.

		<description><![CDATA[The new firmware is now shipping! If you have already spoken to Toshiba in the past, and received the previous upgrade, you will in all likelihood be sent this one. If you have a Toshiba television that is not working with Comcast, or any other cable provider that uses a Motorola or Scientific Atlanta CableCARD, call Toshiba and ask for the upgrade.

		<description><![CDATA[The solution to the problem is on its way. The problem turned out to be with Toshiba&#8217;s firmware and not with Comcast&#8217;s system. It is my understanding that the older Toshiba firmware did not allow the television to use a wide enough range of frequencies. Toshiba sent me a special &#8216;Diagnostic firmware&#8217; which allows the TV to work perfectly with Comcast&#8217;s Motorola CableCARD. The firmware is not yet ready for prime-time. There is one issue with Scientific Atlanta cards that Toshiba would like to iron out before releasing it. The release date should be in the next few weeks. If your TV is not working with Comcast, your best course of action is to call Toshiba America Consumer Products (TACP) and ask to be put on the list to receive the new firmware. Make sure that they are not sending you the older 94SEINE145 firmware.

		<description><![CDATA[The CableCARD issues continue; however, now Comcast is being proactive. I emailled the president of the company and he got the ball rolling. Techs made sure that the line here at the house is fine. They then tried many more CableCARDs and they did not work. The previouis tech had done this as well. The difference this time is that the tech, and the Senior Executive over Technical Operations of the company will start a dialog with Toshiba. Hopefully the two companies can figure out what is going on. My bet is that the Motorola CableCARD is not properly following the ANSI CableCARD spec and the TV is becoming &#8220;confused&#8221;. Who knows? The bright side is that everything is moving in the right direction.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spoke to the tech one more time. It turns out that he had a family problem and was unable to call back. I think he may have called back because I had corporate send him an email. Either way he sent a few hits, gave up and it still does not work. This experience is extremely frustrating. Luckily I found out that I can receive most of the high definition channels with a directional UHF antenna. I&#8217;m surprised that the signals come in this well from the broadcast towers as the analog channels are very fuzzy. I am now entertaining the idea of dumping Comcast; however, I will sorely miss the Discovery and History channels. These may be able to be picked up with free to air satellite. I will look into that. If anyone from Comcast reads this, please re-examine your CableCARD infrastructure and get this working for everyone else out there. It is in your best interest as the FCC will otherwise fine you for non-compliance with their CableCARD mandate. I will soon talk to my local city council to have the franchise agreement re-examined. In this day and age I see no reason for such agreements. [...]]]></description>
