Re: Own cable boxes

said by Joe12345678:

try more like $150-$200 can for HD box or $5 rent to own (36mo) vs $8-$10 end less rent in the usa.

Actually Charter charges $5 for ALL their boxes.

Sd boxes $50

Bullshit what are you basing these numbers on other than wishful thinking? A low end Roku cost $50 and it doesn't have ANY kind of a tuner in it.

HDDRV $348 can or $10 rent to own (36mo) vs $14-$16 end less rent in the usa.

As stated Charter charges $5 a month for HD-DVRs.

Awesome now show me some AMERICAN pricing since that's what we are talking about. No one cares about Canada.

It is hard enough trying to find a cable provider that allows you to buy them... There is no pricing available for products not for sale, but that does not change the price of the products, any company will not sell something at a loss.

Drive the 60-100 miles and go to Best Buy.
US and Canadian prices are not that far apart, but US pricing is usually cheaper, and the US cable companies are much bigger, so the quantity discount will be higher.

Being from Tennessee, surely you see the irony in this bold statement.

Lots of us care (analyze) what the rest of the world does. Also why we do not live in a bubble (i.e under a rock) and blindly vote Republican.
