join:2005-01-03 | Compare it to phone service Here is how i look at charging monthly for additional cable boxes, assuming analog (sans box) is NOT an option.
(I actually created this analogy for someone complaining about having to pay $5/extra box for DirecTV.)
Say you have one phone line. You can plug as many phones into that phone line as you want (for free), but you can still only make one phone call at a time. If you want to make more than one phone call at a time, you must pay for another phone line.
THUS if you want to hook all of your TVs up to one digital box, you certainly may, and for free, too. However, all of your TVs will have to be on the same channel. If you want to watch different channels on different TVs, you must pay extra for each TV.
And consider this: the $3~5 box rental fee is MUCH less than an additional phone line.

Not a very good analogy in my mind. |
