When were sd boxes discontinued?

I am wondering when were sd boxes discontinued?
I was told that by a rep today that they no longer give them out.
When did this happen?
I had mine for only a little over a year.
Thanks.

I was given a free qip-2500-3 around 7 months when I signed up and my brother in law received a free one in December when I had him signup. Keep in mind it might vary due to location as in Jersey the SD and HD box are both the same price.

VZ discontinued the SD boxes a couple of years ago, although they have started showing up again recently as part of the "free SD box for life" promotion.

Minor correction, the price is the same in NEW YORK METRO / NORTH JERSEY AREA. Not applicable for S. Jersey (served by VHO8).

My tech said that Verizon has a glut of sd boxes that no one wants or makes, so fios is giving them away. Worked out for me because we still have a safe tv set in our basement.

I currently have a free SD box.

VZ is truly giving it away, there is no listing of this box on my bill. Not even a "$0.00" as a line item.

Does anyone know if VZ allows a customer to have more than one free SD box?

If so, how can it be ordered? I can't be ordered online because there is no longer any mention of it there. The only time I could order an SD box was when I signed-up as a new customer and made an installation appointment.

I would like to get one for a guest bedroom that would be used infequently.

Try ordering a replacement SD box, then call billing and tell them you want to keep it. Thats what I would do

how do you order SD replacements boxes? I currently have one but don't see an option to do it.

Has anybody tried going to a local Verizon store and asking for a SD box to be added to an existing account?

My local store is far from home, but if I am able to get a SD box there then it would be worth the long drive.

Unless the sku is in the system I doubt they will give it to you for free. ATM they are using them for their free mdvr promotion that includes an extra sd stb.

I don't think a store has the SD boxes anymore
