Can I use TiVo with Spectrum cable?
Yes. TiVo is compatible with digital cable systems and Verizon FiOS. The cable card is what allows TiVo to access Spectrum TV and Spectrum is required by the FCC to support cable cards.
Do I need a tuning adapter for my TiVo?
TiVo does not distribute Tuning Adapters—only your cable provider can do that—but with the most current software update, your BOLT Series, Roamio Series, Premiere Series, or Series3/HD device is fully compatible and ready to display SDV channels as soon as a Tuning Adapter is installed.
What is a tuning adapter for Spectrum?
A tuning adapter is a small set-top-box that gives your CableCARD-equipped TiVo DVR the ability to request switched digital video (SDV) channels. Like CableCARDs, tuning adapters are part of the digital cable system, so they must be issued by your cable provider.
Can I buy a cable box instead of renting from optimum?
You can obtain a certified cable box from Optimum. You may also purchase a certified CableCARD- compatible device, such as a TiVo, available through retail stores in the United States, to receive certain of Optimum’s digital cable services.
How do I reset my spectrum tuning adapter?
For resolving this issue, you have to disconnect the USB cable out from the tuning adapter and take out the power cord (you must keep it out for thirty seconds). After thirty seconds, insert the power cord into the wall. When it switches on, it will need at least thirty minutes to complete the configuration.
Can I buy my own cable set top box?
Most cable companies don’t give you the option to purchase your own box, and you normally cannot buy cable boxes in stores and get them to work with your local cable service either. A CableCARD is a simple card that you get from your local cable company which is programmed for your account.
