Re: Free HBO- is this for real? said by freyder:FWIW, I got the email as well and while I did see the message on my Tivo I do not have HBO on 899.
The Tivo shows the "contact your provider" message when I tune to 899.
The HD HomeRun Prime does not list 899 as one of the channels that I receive.
Try turning off pop-ups in the cable box settings and see if you get channel 899 then. |

I've had it for a few weeks now in VH04. All the HBO channels are unblocked not just 899 as is HBO on demand. |

| As of this morning, my service went from just the one channel unblocked to all of the HBO channels. I have received no communications indicating the reason for this change. |

The Tivo shows the "contact your provider" message when I tune to 899. Is your CableCARD properly paired with your TiVo? HBO is one of the few channels that requires the CableCARD to be paired with the box.
There's a test channel that you can check for pairing issues, but I don't recall what it is. Perhaps someone else has a better memory than I do. |

kudos:10 | Channel 131 is the FiOS Help channel. If the CableCARD isn't properly paired with the host device, channel 131 will display the CableCARD pairing menu... |

channel 131 shows the typical help videos for using the system. No pairing menu there.
All HBO channels say to contact your provider.
The online "My Verizon" service says I should have the service so I guess I'll have to call them get it resolved. |

kudos:10 | You have an account issue, not a CableCARD pairing issue. |
