The package that you mentioned for $90/mo has 1 TiVo Premiere and 2 digital converters, PLUS Docsis cable modem rental and TiVo adaptor. You still would have to pay for extra set top boxes.
It might be helpful if you were more specific about the service you receive.
I know that my parents had 5 STD televisions hooked up back in 2009 when the service was still analog. They initially converted them all to Motorola set top boxes in Sept 2009 when RCN went all digital. Now they have TIVO QUAD and PREMIERE to take care of two HD televisions. But I turned in two of the Motorola boxes. For one TV I attached it to sources like DVD players or Roku box. The other spare TV was only being used for less than 4 hours per week as a distraction for physical therapy. I just bought a 50' component cable for $20 bucks and teed off the TIVO to two televisions. For only 4 hours per week I figure you can set the channel in one room, and walk to the other room.
RCN has been offering premium channels (STARZ, SHOWTIME/TMC, HBO/CINEMAX) on top of just basic over the air channels. For $50 you get one 50 mbps per second plus one HD converter and all the over the air channels. Then you can add premium channels for a modest increase.
You might want to make a determination about how you view TV. If one television with these stations is sufficient, maybe you can hook up a ROKU box or some other streaming device to the other televisions and use internet channels to replace the content that you see on A&E, TNT, TBS, FOXNEWS, etc.
