Free HBO service denied

[speedtalka]

In the fall we were offered free movie service for HBO (sd).  I just received a new email offering it again. Sounds great, right?  Note: our service and equipment have not changed for more than a year(digital box)...I was told today that I cannot have HBO without an HD set-top box.  This is NOT true.  I had it in the fall with the digital box.

I was lied to by a supervisor named Byron. My tech could not do anything about this.

Where do you go when you know this is just a scam to get you to install (and pay for) an HD set-top box?  So frustrated with the **bleep** I was given.

I just want to thank Demarzio for resolving my issue with the Free HBO issue that I reported had been denied because of my equipment.  He totally reassurred me that the equipment was not the issue and he was able to resolve this issue for me.  He is the best tech Verizon has.  Hopefully anyone with any issues is lucky enough to get his support!!!

Thanks again, Demarzio
