We have 3 digital cable boxes at our house. Today, one was traded in on a DVR. New box is plugged in, works fine. Now one of the old boxes doesnt work. Is it possible TW de-activated the wrong box? Do they de-activate boxes? For various reasons, I can’t call them and scream like I usually do… THANKS! ---

did a tech come out or did u take it in. if a tech came out it is possible that he didnt confirm the letters and deactivated it. the box not working pull off the id numb it should sab\_\_\_\_ then call time warner and give that one to them should hit the box in a min or 2 ---

Maybe you just had too much to drink a the bar tonight? lol Im sure it it most defineatly possible for them to have deactivated the wrong one. This happened to me with directv when i was doing the same thing with my newly aquired dvr. ---
