All Good Points. Speaking for ourselves, we are very happy with the service and are not considering going elsewhere. We really like the convenience of multiple devices. In fact, when staying at a hotel or vacation rental we just plug a Firestick into the TV, launch the Fibe app, and everything is there as if we were at home. No more dealing with the basic hotel TV service.
However, at the time we switched to the new platform there was no 60 day limit or any mention that this might change.
We habitually record the whole season of a show so that we can watch one episode each night without waiting a week or more for the next one to show up. We have been doing this for years and that is the way we like it.
The issue now is that a full season usually takes more than 60 days to fully air. In the meantime, we have to keep checking for recorded episodes that might be reaching the 60 day limit and watching them before the full season airs. It is just a real pain. Very inconvenient and not in line with our viewing preferences. It gives the service an inflexible feel.
We do know quite a few people who do the same thing, are mildly miffed, but prefer to grumble to themselves about it.
An option for a 120 day limit would eliminate the issue for us and we would be happy to pay more for this. Alternatively, a package with 120 days but less hours of storage, so that Bell’s storage cost is a wash, i.e., 120 days with 160 hour storage limit. Double the days and half the storage hour limit.
If possible, I would like to hear some kind of response from Bell in terms of whether they plan to at least consider this or not.
