I realize that. I was just curious since I've seen the $85 a month triple play package. I'm assuming that was probably for just 1 tv. However, how much is each additional box. $7 each? If so, I can see another $15 on top of it. I know cablevision doesn't have all of the wacky fees and taxes that verizon has, for example. My sister and I are going to go to the cablevision store and see if they can tell us exactly.

My guess is she either has the Silver package (tune in to Showtime and see if it brings up a channel or "not authorized/upgrade" message) or Boost Plus (run a speedtest at speedtest.net and see if she is under 20 down & 2 up). If she has & doesn't want one of those, she can easily downgrade that.

You can read the fine print for new cablevision/opt triple play online. No boxes are included. Say $10 each box, that adds $30.00. Taxes and fees. The offer might include free Showtime.

Definitely a good idea to write down details when signing up for any service!

Actually they do. You pay either $1.50 or $5.00 a month if you have more than one box and have a premium channel.

And starting in April you will be paying $3/month if you have a package that includes sports channels.

Not sure if that new fee will apply to customers who are on promotions but we will find out in April!
