How many simultaneous shows can I record with two DVRs?

I have had two DVRs for a very long time.  I had them for additional recording space and being able to record more than six shows at a time.  With all the games the networks play with their shows (starting 1 minute early, ending 2 minutes late) I am starting to have more and more recording conflicts. Looking at my scheduled recordings, I cannot record more than six shows at a time.  Is that the limit now no matter how many DVR boxes you have?

I guess my next question is, do I still get any additional storage from the second DVR?  Should I just get rid of the second DVR box and replace it with a regular box (and save myself $10 per month)?

Yes. See https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/x1/i-have-two-dvrs-how-many-shows-should-i-be-able-to-record-at-once/60334b66c5375f08cd6decac?commentId=60334b9ec5375f08cd74eef0. You'll love the excuse they give.

A second DVR gets you more storage space, but you are still limited to 6 simultaneous recordings.
