Time Warner has disabled the serial ports on the back of my cable boxes.

First of all, I didn't even know they could do that.

Now I've got to use the stupid IR cable to change the channel on my Tivo.

I'm not even sure I know where those are, or if I even kept them.

What is the purpose of doing this?

They told me its been permanently disabled and can not be re-enabled.

Its an "upgrade".

The rep wouldn't even get on the phone and explain it to me.

The only reason I know any of this is because I did some googling over the weekend.

Screw you Time Warner, screw you.
