Equipment (Set Top Box)

-Watch SD channels & programming
-Access over 35,000 Video On Demand movies & shows each month

Current Monthly Price*
$5.99

New Monthly Price

*If you currently have a promotional offer on your SD or HD STB, your rate will increase from $4.99 to $6.99.


If that's the case I'll swap my three 2500-3s for HD models. I'm really tired of watching SDs from HD channels doing center-cut. It's Pan & Scan without panning.

If you have MRDVR, there are (or at least were) bundle savings based on the number of HD STBs you have. I think if you have 3 HD STBs, you get $10 off. So it is basically one free.
