There needs to be a plan communicated for long-term loyal customers to received upgraded equipment.

I have seen acknowledgment here and on Twitter that Verizon needs to think about what to do for people who have had their equipment for a long period of time.  On Twitter, the only answer has been that there are very few DVRs out there in this category.  Well, I have one of those DVRs and one of those 6 series HD boxes that both struggle to use the highly anticipated software version 1.9.  I really think you need to start to communicate that there is something that we can do to bring our equipment up to date.

 

I know it has been said before, but I will say it again, asking your loyal long-tem customers to pay $40 to upgrade from a box that will barely function with the new software is terribly insulting.

A "long time" is defined as 4 or more years for our purposes.  For most of you that have had your equipment for less than that time the $40 does not cover the expense of swapping...  

 

Since FiOS TV launched in Texas in September 2005... a small number of you have had your DVR for a "long time".  So we'll look into options for 4+ year gang as the group gets a bit bigger.

 

If you would like to swap your equipment every two years or three years, then would you be willing to pay more per month?

How do you know they are under $200? From what I hear the new ones are still $400+. Not to mention the work it requires to keep the software up to date (rental not only covers the hardware, but software too).

I agree wholeheartedly regarding long-term customers receiving upgraded equipment. Their STBs do not have the capability to connect DVD players and/or OLD VCRs. How antiquated.
