With Centurylink one is limited to watching only 4 different channels at a time with only 2 different HD channels with the other 2 channels to be viewed in SD(Standard Def). Now, if you're a one TV household, you can watch one HD channel while recording one other HD on the DVR, no problem. But, if you want to record two HD channels at the same time, then you'll have to watch the third TV show in SD. If you're like some of us with 2 or 3 HD TV sets, then things can get real interesting. Of course, if the TV sets are all tuned to the same channel such as Super Bowl, then there is no problem since any number of sets can be tuned to the same channel.
Thanks. I will keep my Comcast DVR.
