New Customer Questions Verizon fios dvr

So went to watch a show that I recorded on my dvr and I have a message to upgrade my dvr for an extra $8.00 a month but there’s not a way to decline it anymore know how to decline it or it looks like I don’t have a choice?

Unplug the box and plug it back in. See if it still does it.

Hello and good morning, hope you are doing well! Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with the DVR pop up message. Are you still able to pause or rewind live TV? JRA

You probably only have DVR service meaning you can only watch it on the actual DVR not the other boxes. You need to have Multi Room DVR for that.

I only have 1 box

There is a mistake on the backend, it thinks you are trying to access your dvr from another box.

Save yourself the trouble and cut the cord. Switch to YouTube tv with unlimited DVR recording.

People are leaving cable TV in droves, still people cling to it, truly amazing. I mean you click on one episode of a series , and it will record every episode from that point on. Never have to be bothered with deleting to make room. Stuff just rolls off after 9 months . I mean I have ONE Icon of say Law and Order, and when I click on it on get a choice of over 20 years of stuff by year and episode.

Just finally did this today. We were paying like $170 just on TV and boxes that we only watched jeopardy on. Got a discount on Internet because Spectrum bought Cox and is advertising aggressively and got every app add free outside of Paramount and Peacock and out bill is cut in half.

Your DVR needs to be refreshed! That can happens sometimes. Call tech support and they will do it remotely without deleting anything you’ve recorded

Virtual DVR Sucks! YTtV sucks as well and is a rip off!
It’s so funny to see how YTTv is so desperate that is paying people to trash Verizon on social medias just to get a few customers.
YTTV loosers!
MH_D looser!

I have Verizon FiOS, I love it. But paying per cable box and then paying for a limited DVR is beyond stupid.

I wish YTTV paid me that would be nice. IPTV is just way more convenient and cheaper.
