| DVR fees are a ripoff.... ... these arguments that "Content costs" and programmings costs are a RED HERRING because those costs are already built into the costs of the cable service!
I could see VERY small charge for providing up-to-date guide and programming information to DVR owners, but the rest is PURE PROFIT taking.
Well, the good news is, as the gouging grows worse, more people will move to 3rd party solutions like MythTV etc where they won't have to pay any of these BS fees.
I love my ReplayTV.
