I need to exchange my 4k dvr box, none available locally

I have had significant problems with our system losing our recordings on our home 4K system. We are continually having to restart and do system refreshes, sometimes more than one time per day. I have gone to my local Xfinity store and they have no replacements for the 4K DVR and cannot exchange for the one we currently have. They have finally told me that there are none in the Houston area stores!

This is significantly annoying and the phone tree service is ridiculous. After spending nearly 40 minutes online with the overseas call center they want me to approve paying for another box?? This service has been horrible with respect to recordings and loss of recordings and freezing up of the individual tv wireless boxes. Why is this not working better for the significant amount I pay each month?

I am currently waiting on a new 4K DVR to be sent to my house to exchange with the current one. Once that arrives I can only hope it resolves the issues with loss of recorded shows and constant restarts.

I am glad to hear that you are waiting for new equipment. @user_697751. When did you order the equipment? I'd like to make sure we keep track of this and reach out once you receive it to make sure your services are back to working as they should be.

I never received a date nor a shipment tracking number for the replacement 4K DVR. Can you investigate and or initiate another 4K DVR box shipment? It has been as unreliable as before with constant system refreshes required, sometimes more than once a day.

This technology has been awful since I first brought it home. I really need some help to get this to work correctly, sooner rather than later.
