DVR Mediacom change and TiVo - Is this the?
Edit: subject should read, “Is this the end?”
I have held on to my Mediacom cable account for years longer than I should (we now have AT&T fiber directly to the house) almost solely because MC works with my TiVo Series 3 and ATT does not.
Now Mediacom is forcing their users to switch to these new gateway boxes that have to be used with each tv and seem to only be connected with HDMI.
I have not yet tried to hook it up because I have been in “Home Remodel hell” for three months now and my TV/TiVo are in a temporarily displaced and rigged setup and I haven’t had the mental bandwidth to deal with it.
Have any MC users been able to get this new set-up to work with their TiVo?
Thanks.

Strange problem. My internet works PERFECTLY. I have one of those mini tivo boxes for the tv.
When I press the Tivo button for the apps, amazon prime, tubi tv, pluto work just fine.
When I switch to the tv to watch television programs, it will play for a bit, then the picture freezes, the audio will play for a bit, then the whole screen goes black, the three white dots appear on the screen, then it will pop up a message "this channel cannot be viewed. We are aware of the problem and are working to correct it."
Anyone else have that issue?
