Hi there, I am sorry to hear you are having issues moving your CableCARD to a new host device.
Typically, when a CableCARD is moved to a new host, it must be "validated" in order to receive "high value" channels such as the missing premium channels.
I would recommend calling into Technical Support for help with this process.
Your device should have a utility in place that should allow you to get the following information which should help with making the call a smooth experience:
The Host ID, Card ID, and Data ID
If you have more than one CableCARD, be sure to also have the CableCARD's serial number as well.
