Vecima Tuning Adapter constantly rebooting Tivo Roamio

I finally was able to get the new Vecima tuning adapter working with my TiVo Roamio after about 2 weeks of back and forth with cable card tech service and finally started receiving all the channels I should be. However, now my Roamio is repeatedly rebooting at random when it receives some commands like rewind etc. Once it reboots, it doesn't see the tuning adapter.  I then have to power cycle to TA and power cylce the Roamio again to get everything working. This has happened several times and is very frustrating. The TA appears to have the 1.8.0 firmware. Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

    Any updates to this?  I have the same issue.  I just put a new hard drive into my Roamio Plus to see if perhaps corruption was the cause of my problem, it was not.  As soon as my Tivo sees the TA it reboots.  Or if it detects it, a couple of button presses on the remote will cause it to reboot.  Very frustrating.  Have already swapped out a TA and a CC since I had this issue.

      I would look into a different device or service. Something like YTTV. CC are either dead or dying with most ISPs. Comcast killed them and Cox follows what Comcast does usually, since they license their video back-end software. The FCC doesn't mandate them and it costs the ISP profit. Also, I think Cox will soon switch from QAM based TV service to IPTV so there is more bandwidth for internet speeds, which won't work with CC. Finally, there is the fact that Cox is upgrading some areas with fiber, which further makes CC less appealing because the fiber ONT don't have a coax output.

      Not saying it's impossible to troubleshoot the problem, but the people who can at Cox is less and less and there is very little motive to do so.

        I love the Tivo experience and once Cox drops all support for cablecards, I will drop Cox Cable and just cut the cord.  But until then, I will expect and want the Tivo experience that I pay for.
