I moved all my residential services (tv, internet, landline) to Bell a couple months ago. For the most part, I am happy. The fiber internet is sweet, and I am getting used to new channel lineup and figuring out where all my fave channels are now located.
BUT THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT I HATE HATE HATE!!!!
1 - why isn't there a clock display on the set top box???? (Your competitor's box has one, and it is super convenient)
2 - why, in the name of all that is reasonable, is your "slim remote" not capable of switching inputs on the TV?????
I am a pretty easygoing customer, An LED clock might add and extra $2 to the cost of the STB.... Adding INPUT SELECT function to the remote is simply a matter of programming it accordingly. Maybe you have to add an extra button - so the cost goes up by a few pennies... SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO MAKE THE REMOTE 100x MORE USEFUL!!!!!
As any seasoned marketing professional will attest, it is the "little things" that differentiate a mediocre product (such as your current STB and Remote) from a GREAT product (I will say that your competitor has you beat there).
How about fixing the issue and distributing some new hardware??
