| CableCard "Subscription Required" For the last two years, I have been happily using my home built HTPC with a Ceton InfiniTV cable card tuner. I started having signal problems a few weeks ago. I first replace the cablecard with Suddenlink, no difference. It looked like my Ceton card had died. I ordered a new one. It is getting good signal but all encrypted channels get "Subscription Required" I have call the Suddenlink several times to pair and validate subscriptions, but the say that I should be getting those channels.
Has anyone else had problems getting cablecards to work with Suddenlink? |

Re: CableCard "Subscription Required" Usually that means a re-pairing is required. I've had luck in the past (prior to switching to OTA) getting them to do it via live chat, but did require a tech out and a few card swaps to get things to line up, once. Those cards are pretty unreliable, unfortunately.

agreed none of the support staff that ive talked to in the past knew what it was or what I was talking about... they even said they don't offer that till I stated yeah right FCC requires yall to offer it weather you like it or not haha |

Re: CableCard "Subscription Required" I tried the online chat with support tonight. They confirmed that the pairing was right and said he "rebalance" my account. Whatever that means. Still a no go.
I am going to the office tomorrow to swap the cable card and see If I have any better luck. |

Thanks Shannon. I got another cable card from the office today with the same results. started online chat and had him re-pair. Same results. He went away for a while an then all my channels were coming in. I asked him what he did different from the last three techs. He replied, "Kyle G: They didn't include the data information for the pairing signal."
Thanks Kyle for the fix, finally. And thanks to Shannon for the response. I am sure that you would have fixed it if Kyle couldn't have. |
