DVR rental price decreased or increased?» www.verizon.com/Support/ ··· _X330#NYDVR Service $11.00 Multi-Room DVR Service $12.00 FiOS QuantumSM TV Enhanced Service $22.00 FiOS QuantumTV Premium Service $32.00 Set Top Box Up to $11.99 Set Top Box costs as much as DVR? Is it a mistake? I just switched to Tivo last month. It'll take a lot longer to break even with this new pricing. |

Re: DVR rental price lowered?In the new model the $11 dvr service is on top of the per TV price (7.99 for me). It's actually a price increase for me if i were to reorder the same thing i already have |

I don't get the HD Set Top Box fee, did it increase from $6.99/$7.99 to $11.99 in the NYC area? Of course Verizon is not up front with their pricing. |

You pay a per TV fee. NYC prices may be different than what I see.. Then you add on a DVR or MRDVR or QUANTUM fee on top of that. |

The NYC pricing might be different, but this is what the process looks like. You pick the number of TVs, and the DVR recording options on top of it (if any). So for me here in PA, it'd be $23/mo for just one simple 2-tuner standalone DVR. |

Those prices are outrageous, they are really getting out of control. I'm more glad than ever to have dumped their crappy DVR and went with Tivo. |

Not for everybody - mine only went up a penny - going from 2 DVRs and 2 HD STB to 6-tuner VMS setup. Also kept my 3 free DCT-700s. |

I'm still a bit confused about how this works - when you choose the amount of rooms that you need equipment for, does that include the Quantum DVR server? In other words, if you needed 1 VMS DVR and 4 remote boxes, is that 5 rooms or 4 rooms (the latter being that the monthly price for the Quantum TV service includes the cost for the DVR server)? |

Re: DVR rental price decreased or increased?Rule of thumb seems to be homes with 1 DVR (which accounts for 85% of DVR setups according to Multichannel.com) will see a price increase, 2 DVR's about even and 3+ DVRS a savings. |

I'm paying $16.99 ($11.00 for the DVR service and $5.99 for the DVR), the same price as a standalone DVR in the old pricing system. |

Yes, if I select 2 or more rooms the "record 12 at once" $32 option comes up. |

Yeah, current equipment holders shouldn't change their equipment unless they're OK with paying the current rates. |

Developed to make you scratch your head, heres some help: We're paying at least $30 a month for the VMS DVR equipment.
The positive is that essentially every box in the house behaves like a DVR, including pausing and rewinding live TV.
People that decide to upgrade to VMS, or get rid of it, have to change all boxes in their house. Thats pretty incredible. The higher prices are required just for shipping/refurbishing future boxes, Im sure. |

From what I heard last week, those charges are no longer applied for returns to the FiOS stores. |
