Right now I can get all of their digital and HD channels (we've never had the "premium channels) with phone and 35Mbps Internet including a whole-house DVR and a total of six (6) TV boxes, three which are full-blown boxes with everything, three that work with the whole house DVR and have all of the cable channels (no PPV or interactive menuing) for $127.00/month.
That's with a two year commitment and lifetime whole house DVR. I'm paying $120/month for two boxes, a "regular" DVR, phone and 15Mbps internet with Brighthouse. I would prefer to go with FIOS, myself, but mainly due to the internet speed. I had this at the inlaws, and it screamed compared to BH. FWIW, I called BH the other day to see if they would come to the table and just give me the next tier of Internet speed (25Mbps) to keep me as a customer, and they blew me off.

That said, the deal was you got three set top boxes free. That is no longer the deal. Now each box is $10 for analog TV to get signal. If you have the cable card slot, you can rent that instead. The deduction for multiple box is negligable. It does increase per box, but only $2 or so clay 1972 220D - Gump - She is green, simple and runs and runs 1995 E300D - Cleo - Used by the Queen of Denial POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Oct 2, 2011, at 9:54 AM, LWB250 wrote: > You could get a multiplexer and feed separate boxes to dedicated channels, > but that's a nightmare when it comes to management. > > The Elgato devices enable PCs to display cable analog/digital/terrestrial > television signals.
