and at no cost to the subscriber.
except for 24/7 365 days/yr electricity needed to power the device, of course.
Which probably operates in the noise of your electric bill, certainly nowhere near the $4-$5/month you might get charged for a full service box.

Doesn't Verizon FIOS have a similar watered-down box that they charge $1 less per month than the digital STB?

VZ's low-end box is the same DCT-711 that Comcast deploys in Motorola areas.

I'm talking about the digital adapter listed on their website that doesn't support ondemand, not the SD STB. Is that what the DCT-711 is? I didn't think Comcast had such an option.
