Well yes 3.00 a month for the WHole home DVR, but then you have 7.00 a month for the DVR fee, and 10.00 for your HD packaging, unless you have one of their top packages. So looking at that side of you got a possible addition of 20.00 a month just for the base service, plus 5.00 for every receiver after the first one.  Working for DISH network, I can tell you one thing for sure, that's a lot of money monthly.  I have two TV's in my house, my HD programming is free for life no matter what package I have, having only two tv's I pay no extra money for the second tv, and if I had 4 tv's set up I would pay 14.00 in equipment fees, versus the 15.00 at Directv.  I know I didn't have to go through any annoying rebates though to get any discounts I am supposed to get.

FiOS has had this service for well over a year, and you don't pay for the equipment up front. It's only 19.99 per month for the box and dvr service. Not too shabby.

Yeah, $150.00 for extra equipment then $3.00 a month.

The beta worked just fine over gigaethernet for free.

I tell them what, I don't have 15 rooms, much less 15 rooms with a receiver, so what if I just pay for the two receivers they have at the rate of 40 cents. That’s the 20 cents a pop they are charging the guy with 15 receivers. Makes sense to me.

Good catch up with their competition, but I'm not sure that the $3 additional bucks seems like a great idea. Maybe I am just sick of companies pulling the extra bucks. Required datat plans, no emailing our CEO, nickle here, dime there, my paycheck went where?
