This is funny. When I got service last month I was told that they no longer stock SD DVR's and that my only option was a HD DVR in a room where I only needed an SD one. The tech indicated that they don't carry the SD DVR on their trucks any more. |

Last week, I saw a whole carton of SD-DVR boxes on a tech's truck along with two or three HD-DVRs (that he said he wasn't going to turn in like they asked).

Re: Ho HD Boxes said by Inside Fios :
... After 3/10 supposedly all will be ok. Also the Movie package or HBO and a DVR for $20 is over as well...
Will they re-instate the HBO&DVR for $20 once they have the hardware since it was supposed to run through mid Feb? I was about to order, but found out they don't have any HD hardware. |

Re: No HD Boxes Actually the problem is with the demand. A Certain part made in China has fallen behind in production and without that part motorola cant continue build the equipment. |

$%#^@&!* China. Once the parts come in, they'll probably be recalled because of Lead paint or some such crud.

Sorry, it seems like nothing is manufactured here anymore.

Does anybody read the news? it has to do with China having blizzards and snow as bad as it has been for the past 100 years. It has slowed down production and exports over there. It makes sense. I don't think we can blame this one on Verizon. |

Mountainside, NJ | Yes, there is a shortage. We found out yesterday when we were getting FIOS TV installed. They did get a recent shipment in this area though since we got the one HD DVR box we requested. |

Re: Ho HD Boxes said by lets456:I am reading reports up to 4 months? Is that true? I called up to order the triple play today and they told me 4 months. I'm now looking at Cox and DirecTV instead. |

Yeah, he said the tech told his wife that since he got the install order in before 2/1 (he called 1/30), he was safe.

| When I returned my Cox HD DVR on Saturday after having my FIOS installed, there was a big sign on the front door that said We are out of HD DVRs until further notice. When I told the counter agent that this was an HD DVR, he had it pulled immediately. Looks like the shortage is not only Verizon. |

verizon boxess are unique. cox, charter, comcast, timewarner and about every other cable company they are the same box. im sure tooling has to be changed that isnt going to be changed before they fill the big orders and wont cater to a small cable company like verizon. gets back to verizon should have planned better and placed in the contract that they needed 50 thousand instead of 10 thousand before a certain date. motorola is meeting the contracted amounts. its the overages thats a best try stance. |
