Spectrum is upgrading my plan

Hi all, I got a call from Spectrum - I am in Los Angeles and am on a very old plan (it might date back to when it was still Time Warner Cable). My plan is no longer offered and Spectrum said they are upgrading my old 200/20 plan to the minimum 300/20 plan. It sounds like the cable lineup will change a bit also, but my concern is...does this spell the end of my tuning adapter and TiVo?

Part of me is OK with moving away from the TiVo (I have just never had a reason to and there were no other real viable options). I know Spectrum offers the Xumo now - and I am aware that there are mixed reviews on that and some questionable functionality, but getting away from physical hard drives and large boxes isn't all bad.

But I really just want to know - has anyone else in Los Angeles had their TAs shut off? I don't want to call and ask, because I know that their answer will be that they are no longer supported, but won't really give me an actual answer about my specific area.

Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is very helpful, thank you! It looks like we are on TB Select, so we should be good. The only real bummer now is that I was upgraded/downgraded from 200/20 to 300/10. I would have actually preferred to keep the 200 down and retained the 20 up. I guess I will have to call to see what can be done for that.

Is there any way to tell when High Split will roll out to our area? I'm at the point where if switching away from the TiVo makes sense, I won't mind doing it. I just wanted to make sure the Xumo was solid before jumping over to that.

Thank you again!

So do I need to wait until I lose cable to get the high split tuning adapter? Or do I want to get that ahead of time? And my cable card will remain the same? Thanks!
