Re: Crap costs baby. said by CableTool:Oddly enough.. programming and content prices DO increase. Even for the prodigal son, FIOS! Im not sure how people do not realize that content costs a boatload of money. What does the increase in the DVR fee have to do with content and programming costs? They are separate animals. |

Not really. The DVR, while a slow money making retention tool, eventually is to help offset the cost of rising programming. Just like caller ID for the phone company(at $7 per month per line which cost them pennies to offer) is a way to grab extra profits to subsidize the real cost of telephone service. The DVR is the same. It takes a few years for each DVR to start actually making money. Everything is profit and if you knew the profit margin of basic cable, you'd see why the extra services are priced the way they are.

Not when you're paying really for the programming and your provider is saying its free and just the box ala cox.
the boxes were bought at a certain price and dont go up in price once they're bought. the programming however does and thats why box fees go up.
