Welcome back to me. LOL
Been awhile.
Long time Dishnet and Direct as well as BUD and FTA guy here.
Well my 3 year love affair with FIOS is ending. I would stay but I live in Seattle and we got sucker punched as many of you know to Frontier. No more support for FIOS TV from them. They keep dropping channels and whenever I call to ask about a new DVR or 3d channels all they do is steer me to Directv.
So I pulled the plug and went back as a qualifying new customer to Directv. I was hopeful a TIVO box was back but I see its not.
So while I was in order process online. The chat guy from DTV told me the Hr24 I will be getting. (ordered whole home setup) will hold 100 hours HD and 200 hours SD. Sounded odd to me. So after ordering I went into BEst BUY and the guy with clipboard walking around selling DTV told me its only 50 hours and they may give me an older HR23 box. I said I read only the 24 can be used for whole home setup. He seemed confused. No suprise there LOL.
Well I then called DTV and this CSR told me the box records 200 hours HD and 500 hours SD that I will be getting? Sounds odd as now I have 3 differing responses. To make matters worst I have searched here and Google and can not seem to get solid answer.
Also, I see they now use a MOCA setup like FIOS. So will this whole home thing work on UHF remotes or thru the rooms uniit and coax to a central MOCA setup box?
Last, My invoice says Seattle does not have HD locals. WTHECK? They had them 3 years ago? Did we lose them to contract? I know BElo owns King 5 but nothing else.
Anyway, Great to be back. Now to Rock and roll to DTV again. Hope they have 3d channels still as well.
Thanks
Ice
