I have Cox, and have been running with two TA's prior to the firmware update. After the firmware update at the end of last month, I checked, and like you, discovered that all tuners were now on just one of the TA's. I unplugged the unused one, and everything appeared to be working fine --- for a few days. Then it quit working, and apparently Cox had reset something in their network that made it such that all tuners were now assigned to the OTHER TA, which I had removed. I put it back into the system, and it's working again.
In talking to Cox (which is difficult because I'm usually speaking to someone who just follows scripts, etc.) it appears that I still have both TA's paired with my one CableCARD. Removing one at my end (even though it's not "necessary") will make my system prone to being unstable if they change anything at their end, which they seem to do at random intervals. Of course if I could get them to re-do the pairing at their end, I could eliminate the 2nd TA, but they seem clueless on the phone, and would want to send out a technicial (and charge me $70) to make that change. It's almost enough to make be change to FIOS, but I assume they might have their own problems.
