Re: I would love this
You don't think you're going to avoid a monthly fee per TV do you?
Satellite came out with the "purchase your own box" and still charged you $5.00 per room/box active. They bashed cable for years for what they ultimately did. (To be fair, cable based Sat for things and they too now do them)
The monthly charge will happen for a reason.. its going to cut down on fraud. With a -no charge- tv set on an A/O, people would share accounts with friends and neighbors. Funny, however, how a $5.00 fee will make people actually think twice about letting their neigbor get service on their bill even with a small fee.
What will happen is simple.. you'll get a mirror fee, and no longer rent their box. For some people this is great, for others, it will be a deal blocker or severely delay their desire to flip out $1500 for a new set. |
