Sometimes the only DVR in stock is the 7232.

ScottB posted : All true but it doesn't answer the question. Some customers are getting new boxes to replace the ones that cannot be refurbished. If Verizon could fulfill all it's new orders for service with recycled boxes, they wouldn't be making much money.

yyzlhr posted : Verizon and most other MSOs only give their customers the option to rent their equipment. If a customer cancels their service or exchanges their equipment for whatever reason, do you think that equipment just ends up in the trash? If they threw every returned box in the trash and kept buying new ones they would be out of business. So no, chances are you're not going to get a new one.

Does anyone know how to get a "new" HD DVR?

One way: buy your own TiVo (essentially, any device not provided by Verizon). The only refurb I've ever objected to was one that smelled like a cigarette butt (still burning) when it was turned on; so, if it's only scratched up & dirty, but still works...

ScottB posted : I got my Fios TV self install package last night. I was pretty upset. The DVR and one of the STB's look like someone used them as hockey pucks in their basement. They were badly scratched up and dirty. I called Verizon and was directed to one of their stores. I was able to get a new STB but none of the stores in the Brooklyn-SI-Manhattan area had any new DVR's, only refurbished ones. I called Verizon and they said they could put in an order for a replacement but they couldn't tell what I might get. Does anyone know how to get a "new" HD DVR? If I take a refurbished one, can I still keep looking for a new one? If so for how long?
