 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | ComCAST's price in my area are about the same.. and I still find it a good deal. I'd go out and price an HD box on your own, to purchase, and see how much the trade off is. (Hint: The cost of an HD box, to an MSO that buys them by the truck load, is about $500 or more, each)
Also, consider the fact that they do break, the hassle of having to have them serviced, be with out, and when new technology comes out, you'd have to buy new ones.. again, the rental isn't that bad.
For the record, I have 6 televisions in the house and they are all HD. I know it costs, but, we're still in the early adopting stage. Most homes still only have just one HDTV in the house, and few have more than one.
Value, I suppose, if going to depend on WHO is the one asking that question. |
