Re: At lest there drop the $20+ rent down to $16 for HD Dvr but said by canesfan2001:Actually that is exactly why the fee is now regulated to $2 per card, and even though Comcast tries to be shady with M-cards by charging double based upon the premise that the person is getting at least twice the use out of it, it's only $4. Compare that to having two DVRs at $20/mo each and its a big savings. I will be doing the same thing. I will be saving $40 a month going this route because I have 2 DVRs on Directv.

Direct only makes you pay $5 per box and box 1 is free.
Dvr and HD is a flat fee. Some cable systems have a per card HD fee. |

I am moving to Comcast because I want to watch Versus for the NHL playoffs. That and I want features like Multiroom viewing that Directv hasn't gotten around to yet. Lastly, I want more recording space without buying more DVRs.

I hear the new DVRs will have MoCA which means you don't need to have any cat 5 cable going to your DVR. |

I'm not sure I may be misreading your post, but it looks like you plan to use cable cards with directv, cablecards don't work with directv, the only current way to use directv with a third party dvr is with a IR blaster to the sat box, and then your already paying for the box. |

It does us moca, but only works with newer HD boxes, I have the beta running on my Directv DVR
Who knows how long I'll have it, they'll probably send me a letter asking if I want to pay for it once it's deployed lol, way to thank your beta testers  |
