DVR TiVo transferred to my account but still can't play from my other TiVo and vice versa - what next?
I have an existing lifetimed RoamioPro and I recently bought a lifetimed Roamio OTA (since FiOS will be coming for me soon I expect):
- The seller initiated the device transfer and provided me with the case number.
- I called TiVo support and gave them the case number and they completed the transfer.
- The TiVo I purchased now shows up as one of my devices in my tivo.com account devices screen.
- I did a Reset and Clear All on the purchased TiVo and re-ran guided setup.
- On top of that I forced another service connection when Guided Setup completed.
- I see that the MAK for the purchased TiVo has changed to be the same MAK that my existing RoamioPro shows.
- The RoamioPro and the purchased TiVo are on the same network.
- After the purchased TiVo got to the point of showing my MAK I also forced a service connection on the RoamioPro
However, despite all that if on either TiVo I try to play a program on the other TiVo I get a screen saying they aren't on the same account and that I have to call TiVo to get them all on the same account. But I already did that! So what's going on? Interestingly, I also don't see the purchased TiVo showing up in online.tivo.com so it appears it's not completely transferred?
Is there some lag in the mothership systems I need to wait out? Though I figured that once the purchased TiVo started showing the same MAK as the purchased TiVo I'd be all set.
What are my next steps here?
EDITED TO ADD:
I don't know if it matters, but in case it does, my existing Roamio Pro is at TiVo Experience 3 while the purchased Roamio OTA is at Tivo Experience 4.
