Is there a max number of receivers and DVR's per household service and still receive quality cable service?

One DVR as it has been from the beginning.
Here's the answer about wireless receivers given by @my thoughts on another thread:
It depends...
Traditionally the answer has always been 2 wireless per account....
However, effective around April 1, 2016 that has changed provided certain conditions are met, the max has been raised to 5 wireless receivers.
The conditions....
1) Must have newest gateway, either the 599 or 5268
2) Must have the 2nd Gen WAP, either the 501 or 2500, a 401 will only support 1st Gen wireless with 2 maximum.
3) Must, the first (2) wireless receivers have to be 1st Gen wireless Ciscvo 7005
4) Must, the additional wireless (3-5) have to be 2Nd Gen wireless either 7105 or 2500
5) Must be ordered and shipped thru SALES department, garages, techs generally are not stocked with these WiFi receivers.
6) Must, $49 charge per wireless receiver, billed by SALES.
7) If problem doing a self install on wireless receiver needing a tech dispatch can be subjected to a possible $99 service call, FAILED Self Install of equipment. This ($99) is the same charge for a tech to install a hardwired receiver.
😎 Must, Each receiver is currently $10 a month, no increase in 2017 price, same a$ 2016 pricing for each receiver.

@Mountaineer16 - THe other critical number is the streams into the house - FOUR - Standard service. High speed internet may have five.
No matter how many STBS you have you can only watch (live) or record four programs simultaneously (live plus record cannot exceed four.
Other STBS can watch recordings up to three or four (not sure).
U-verse is not designed for high usage families. IT was designed to minimize new investment while still provididing adequate service for average users.
