Rogers also wants way more then bell and others for the TV setup boxes.
$500 for HD DVR 20/h boxes? $250 for HD only boxes?
Other than for IPTV service, Bell's prices for their boxes are in line with that. Rogers ones also routinely go on sale, Bell's rarely do (other than new customer service credit being advertised as a discount on the box). Shaw Direct is also in the same price area. Can't speak for non-Rogers cable companies though.

A Bell HD box is $99 and an HD PVR is $199 right now. That may be a "sale" price, but that also blows your whole "they never go on sale" theory out of the water, too.
The bill credit for new subscribers on the box is an addition $50 on top of those prices I listed above or something like that, so it ends up being $50/$150.
