said by lvlorpheus:I agree that is way too high. Someone here correct me if I am wrong, but couldn't most of us here build our own NEW computer HD-DVR for $383.76 "that wouldn't be taxed every month" every 2 years. Not to mention the resell value would have to better on what I would build vs. what I have to give back to them. Also The HD-DVR that i would build would have a lot of features theirs does not, and I am sure a much larger hard drive. So if I am wrong let me know.
In order to get the digitally encrypted channels on FIOS, you need a cable card enabled PC - they start at about $1,000 not including the tv guide data. Cablelabs will only license cablecard technology for use on complete pc systems, not for tv tuner cards.
