| And in our area the DVR price was raised from $9.95 a month to $11.95 a month in January. I haven't heard any signs of it being raised another dollar to match the $12.95 that is talked about here. I bet next January we'll go up to the $14.95-$16.95 range to offset the expensive Cable Card box costs.
Say... how much more was that Comcast/Tivo supposed to be? Looks like it will be near $19.95/month if not more. |

1 edit | The Dish Network monthly DVR fee for a DVR 508 continues as it has been for many years, $0. I like it that way. |

Is there anyway a new subscriber can get this deal? I want to loose comcrap. I think the only DVR 508's on sale are from EBAY now, years ago I bought mine new from Sears. Dish Network still enables them, and will replace one if it is defective or has problems. They are supported, and software is updated regularly. The DVR 500, 508, and 510 are all the same, except for hard drive size, and the DVR having a monthly DVR fee. The 508 is an aging product, it is standard 4x3, and holds up to 80GB, some hack them to get larger hard drives but that voids the warranty. Though it is nice to have no DVR fee, I really am happy to have avoided it for so many years. Saving the DVR fee month after month adds up over a few years. Ok, so even if I get one of the DVRs you mention, I will still have to pay a DVR fee? I would also like to NOT PAY the DVR fee. How can I do that?
BTW, TYVM for all of your answers to my questions. |

cloud 9 | If you buy a 508, 501, 7100, or 7200, there is no DVR fee. If you buy any other model DVR, then there would be. |

$12.95 ain't bad! Time Warner charges less per month for their cable service, but they make up for it in equipment fees. I used to pay $20/month for two DVRs with Comcast. When Time Warner took over that changed to:
08/13 - 09/12 DVR Fee 9.95
08/13 - 09/12 DVR Fee 9.95
08/13 - 09/12 Digital Video Receiver 4.24
(includes Remote Control At $.23)
08/13 - 09/12 Additional Digital Video 6.95
Recorder (includes Remote Control At $.23), And Digital Programming Fee
So not only does TWC charge you a "DVR fee" but they also charge you for the box. That works out to about $14 for the first DVR and $17 for the second. I just returned my second DVR yesterday. I am now using a Media Center box with a HD HomeRun tuner instead.
