I've had FiOS for 2 years and, while the service overall is excellent on the Internet side, there are a variety of annoyances and cost increases that have me looking at Comcast. We currently have FiOS multi-DVR service, and have noticed the following problems:
- you usually can't FF in On Demand
- if you pause On Demand for longer than a minute or so it will completely time out and you can only resume play from the start of the program, not where you paused. Combined with the no FF this is really annoying.
- recorded shows periodically record with "static"
- the DVR is generally laggy and slow to respond, leading to unintentional button pushes when you think your original selection wasn't received and you reenter it, only to have the DVR simultaneously receive and execute both selections, particularly when navigating menus
Can anyone provide some comparative info with the XFINITY service? How are the latest DVRs? Does On Demand work well?
Thanks in advance for any info.
