I have a daughter with disability. Recently she was diagnosed with cancer and will have to stay at home more than she desires. In order to make life easier for her, I requested a cable box to her bedroom for her own comfort. We also have a cable box at the living room but it does not show anything the number of the channels, time or if the cable is on.

Undortunately it can be confusing for her to go to the menu all the time she wants to figure out wich channel she is at,,, and it was I was told when I requested a new cable for my living room like the one I received for my daughter's bedroom.

I have already mentioned and requested for a normal cable box showing the channel numbers to:

1. The technician who installed the box at first - a few years ago, who promissed he was coming back with a "normal" box but I never saw him again.

2. To the technician who came to my home to install my daughters' box on April 25 2014 - Jeffrey {edited for privacy}, who called his supervisor {edited for privacy} to tell her my request, and then told me that she promissed a new box the way I requested and per the reasons I have requested would be send to me no later than April 27. 

3. As none of my request worked I have to call the service departament of Verizon - today May 5 2014 to again explain this very personal and sad situation about why I want a box showing the channels to facilitate my daughter's life.

The answer the service department person gave me was that I need to request a more expensive box if I want the channels to show on it.

At the same situation, the answer that Jeffrey {edited for privacy} gave me was that they do not have or hand on this type of box???


We have been with Verizon since 2005/6... and at this point I don't know what else to do. To know that my daughter can watch TV from her living room and easily recognize the channels, I have to pay extra was too much for my understanding and patience with them.

Does anybody else have this problem with them? How that company can be so big and rich now, after all the complaints we see from their customers? Any tips?
