Use the steps below for TiVo devices only. For IPTV, use these steps instead.

1. Check BOLT for a recently completed Non-Pay Work order
    
   • If account is current, proceed to next steps
      
   • If not current, take a payment. Services will not come back up without a payment
      
2. Make sure each TiVo box has TiVo service code NTIVOSV on each on a separate Data occurrence (HS screen)
    
3. Verify the Serial Number  / TSN Number
    
4. Find the TSN in BOLT Diagnostics to ensure the TiVo is active
    
   • If no TSN:
      
     1. Re-provision the TiVo
         
     2. The TSN should display after you do this
         
     3. If the TSN remains missing, Verify the TSN with the customer
   
   
   • If TSN is visible with other TiVos on the account:
      
     • Select the TiVo in question and synch the account in WebTools. The TiVo should show as inactive. Re-activate it, then synch the account again

1. Balance the account, and wait a few minutes to see if anything changes
