We currently have TIVO boxes on 3 TVs with DirecTV and have been a loyal customer with them for 8+ years.
Been looking at possibly switching to FIOS or sticking with DirecTV but upgrading to HD DVRs or possibly their whole home DVR system. We have been holding out for the new HD Tivos boxes with DTV but the intial reports are not that great and they are being offered in very limited areas right now.
We have 3 TVs all with their own DVRs so we can presently record 6 seperate shows on all 3 units. One for the parents and the other 2 are used by our 2 boys.
Anyone have any experience good or bad with either system?
What are the trade offs of going to the whole house dvrs? Can't you only record 2 shows then? I know DTV has a DVR with 5 tuners but how can you make sure that you get that one and not just one that has 2?
What about costs?
Any help would be greatfully appreaciated.
With DTV, anyone have any great Customer Retention tricks for getting some of this stuff for free as a loyal customer?
Thanks!
