Deleted Recordings

Monday I activated Peacock. Went through the process, checked my account page and the subscription was there. Wile looking at my account, I checked Upcoming Charges and saw next months bill was almost $10. Thinking I was charged for peacock, I contacted support. this was my first interaction with the new AI support and I don't think it went well.

The "voice" checked my account and told I wasn't charged for Peacock, the $10 was for an increase in taxes and fees. It asked me if I wanted to try and lower my bill, I of course said yes. It went through asking me if I wanted to keep the same services, I said yes. It asked my what channels I watched. One I said was TBS, it repeated them back and said CBS instead. O.....k.

After checking, it came back and said they could lower my rate by $5, that's better than nothing I guess and it was done. Sometime during the day on Tuesday I go to watch something on DVR. On my DVR, most of my recordings were gone, there only five, all  recorded within the last five days, nothing in the deleted folder. Last time I looked at the DVR it was about 60% full. When I checked it Tuesday, it was 71%. I recorded an hour long show and it went up to 76%. It's about 15 hours of recordings, that should not be 76% full.

Did the "voice" reduce my DVR storage to lower my rate $5?

My suspicions were correct. My plan came with 150 hours of DVR storage, I guess that plan is no longer available and to reduce my rate $5 I only get 20 hours of recordings now. Unless of course I give them more money. Good job Comcast.

reggie77 Thank you so much for reaching out for help with your DVR recordings and the recent change that was made. With the TV services, there is a free DVR feature that is included with your plan. This provides around 20 hours of free storage. For additional storage, there is a $10.00 to $20.00 charge depending on the amount of additional storage needed. It looks like the assistant could only find a savings by removing that additional storage for you. I would be happy to help check out other promotion options for you, and or add your storage back if needed.

If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.
