Digital Gateway fee: $5.00
Digital converter fee: $3.95 (yes... still charged even though it's part of
the 8000)
Remote control fee:: $0.22
Service (subscription) fee: $9.99
Additional sales tax: $1.39
Additional franchise fee: $1.03

Total additional charge: $21.58

Interesting. I heard from a Cox user here in Phoenix that it added only
$10 to his bill, since he had digicable already...

In my case (Time Warner NYC) it was $8.95 plus tax increase since I already
had a digital box.

He may be paying 15.00 a month. But he is getting the guide info also
Tivo guide Info Is 12.95 a mo. All Its costing him Is 2.05 a mo.
Plus the fact there Is no buying the unit 300-400 bucks for a tivo.

Standalones start at $150 with a $50 rebate, and as others
have said, DirecTiVos are $99. There was even a $50 rebate
recently for those, making them $49 after rebate.

Isn't that $200 _after_ $50 MIR?

Or are you talking about refurbs or something else?

BestBuy has the 40 hr for $250 with an additional $50 MIR, bringing it to
$200...

You're right. I could have sworn what I wrote was the deal
recently, but maybe I spaced then as well. It was a special
deal at tivo.com with a special link for "friends" of TiVo
users or something like that; the link may still work, but I
can't remember it right now. Whatever it was, it was quite
simple, something like www.tivo.com/sale -- and iirc (ha ha),
there was no rebate required. Wait -- I think they were
refurbs, but not from servicedvr.com, but tivo.com. Anyone
remember this at all?

In any case, they're not "$300-$400" as claimed by the
other poster.

Tivo.com has the 80 hr unit for 349.00 with a 50.00 rebate.
In this case, There In the $300-$400 as I claimed.

Yeah We all know that we can go to ebay, or other places to find them
cheaper.
