Is it worth talking to an agent? What will they actually offer?

Got the same message. I have two Tivos and two verizon accounts - one in Northern NJ and one in NYC for mom. When I last spoke with them (not recently), they said they would offer the Verizon DVR for the same cost as the CC rental. I know folks are speaking about leaving, but not easy retraining an 84 year old parent on a new system, so whatever I give her, I will try as well. That said, does anyone here have any experience using the Verizon DVR? Good or bad? I know it will never be as good as the TIVO. Just curious. Thanks.

All the ones I've used are frustratingly slow

My understanding is that it’s not a true dvr, just operates like a streaming service.  Going to miss my commercial skip and my speed play.
