Re: Charging for HD tier on each cablecard?

said by jagged See Profile :

well the CSR told me I will be charged $6.95 HD access for each cable card, guess maybe I got him confused

I did check their FAQ and it says 1st cablecard is free if you need two they'll charge you $2.01 for the second

for a second device the cost of the cablecard is included in the outlet fee which is $6.99 in south florida

right now we pay $9.95 for the first DVR and $11.95 plus $6.99 outlet fee for the second one. HD tier is included in the price of each, separately it's $6.95

I just thought it weird he said they'll charge me $6.95 HD on each cablecard. That's like charging $71 for each TV that you want to watch digital preferred tier on

I'll re-check with them a couple more times before I plunge buying Tivos

beavercable would the Tivo even be able to handle recording a 3rd feed? Seems kind of a lot

What about 2 multi stream cablecards in a TivoHD to get 4 streams?
direct tv is better you just a box fee for each one you add.

Same thing with Comcast, first Digital Cable box is free, each additional is $6.95/mnth. Used to be different years ago, but Comcast doesn't charge or discounts your advanced boxes now. HD box and DVR boxes are charged for the first box but discount is applied. But if you have a standard box only then thats free for the first one. Now if you have one HD box which is discounted to $6.00 instead of full price of $12.95, and you have a Standard Def Digi Box as well, the digi box will be $6.95 per month.
