HSC tuning adapter available?
I saw in a Tivo specific forum that some people in the San Diego received a new HSC Tuning Adapter from Vecima and according to them, it seems to have fixed the issue of the the Cisco Tuning Adapter ...

This is the first time I have heard it called by it's actual name. Thank you for that. There is this thread mentioning them but I don't know where OP lives and they didn't respond for comment. I would try emailing cox.help@cox.com and asking. Be sure to share the update with the forum please.
I read up on the TA by that name and found the model number is HSC-1-H. HSC stands for High-Split Converter and is apparently much larger then the old TA. There is some pictures of it if you google that model number. I tried to download them but the format is wrong/broken for this forum. Also, not sure why it is called High-Split when AFAIK Cox is converting to a mid-split format. However, I am not a expert on the subject.
I am in the Phoenix market and received two of the HSC tuning adapters for a test around the beginning of the year. It has solved the issue of the rebooting and loss of programs/programming.
It is actually smaller than the Cisco version. If you are having difficulties in getting answers, I would recommend talking to the Cox executive team. A lot of information available is not always passed down to the field techs until they until all the "kinks" are worked out and it is ready for general information.
If you are having difficulties in getting answers
I am only interested in it because it is interesting technology. I don't have a TiVo or CC so I don't have any skin in the game. Good advice for the OP though. Thank you for confirming your market too.
In the short time you've been able to try it out, are there any apparent idiosyncrasies with the HSC TA?
The only negative comment I can make is that the pilot light is a very bright blue and is a bit distracting as it is next to my TiVo. I could put some vinyl tape over it but I guess it does not bother me all that much.
