| If cox is $19/mo not including bogus fees/taxes, then It'd take me 16 months to pay off my box. Considering my first tivo is over 5 years old and going strong, it has paid for itself time and time again. My 2nd Tivo, which is the HD model, is nearly paid off as well.

Considering Cox in LV charges an install fee for the Cable Cards, I'd say in about 18 months.
$19x12=228, plus $29.99 install fee = $257.99 for the first year of Cox cable dvr. (with his price quoted above of 19 a month)
129.99 (1 year svc), $149 for the tivo, $1.99 cc fee to cox = $302.87
Net difference after the first year is: 44.88
After the first year, Cox is still $19/month, and Tivo would be $12.82 ((129.99/12)+1.99 cc fee). So Each month of using Tivo instead of Cox DVR would be a net profit of $6.18, which would take about 7 months to pay off the 1st year difference of $44.88 stated above.
So after that 18th month (ROI if you will), he'd be saving money.
Summary:
Year 1
257.99 Cox (including install fee)
302.87 Tivo (including hardware purchase price)
Year 2 (actually starting on the 18th month after purchase)
228.00 Cox (no install fee)
153.87 Tivo (no hardware purchase cost)
---------
74.13 Savings per year after the first 18 months. |
