WHEN THIS HAPPENS,I HAVE TO HIT "LAST" TO GET BACK TO WHAT I WAS WATCHING
AFTER YEARS AND A COST OF $18 MO. FOR THIS SERVICE,THEY HAVEN'T GOT IT RIGHT, YET !
THEIR DVR IS A CONVERTED BOX WITH NO "HARD DRIVE"
I THOUGHT I WAS LEASING A DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER",NOT SO.
IT'S MORE LIKE A "DIGITAL SIGNAL REVIEWER"
SO TIRED OF THESE PROBLEMS, I QUIT LISTING AND NOW ONLY USE 1 DVR AND REMOVED ALL OTHER BOXES AND ADDED NETFLIX TO 3 MORE DEVICES AND USE THE INTERNET TO GET EXACTLY WHAT I WANT
P.S. 2 NEIGHBORS DROPPED COMCAST AND WENT TO "DISH" & "DIRECT", BOTH HAVE BETTER PICTURES, BETTER DVR's, NO FAILURES, THE SAME CHANNELS AND PAY 1/3 OF WHAT I PAY
AS SOON AS I CLEAR AND/OR ORDER THE MOVIES FROM MY DVR I AM GOING TO WASH MY HANDS FROM THE PRICE,PROBLEMS AND DURESS OF COMCAST
