    Why No Fox Soccer Channel on America Top 200?

    AT120+ is AT120 plus your RSN. I think multisport is extra add-on.

    I received the letter as well. I also just have one receiver (722). I will wait until for the bill then make a decision. Cablevision has a promo for 2 years for internet,phone,tv for $69.95. They are giving DVR service free for one year as part of the promo.

    Tax on DVR fee only?

    I'm still getting taxed on the DVR service. I had to call again to get credit. The interesting part is that now that the tax was a bit higher this month. On the bill it says that a taxable charge of $9 is included with my base programming. I only have 1 receiver.

    CableVision DVR's?

    Correct, in fact I hear that CV will stay with two SD/HD boxes (4200 and 4250). They are not buying DVR-boxes. They are deploying their RS-DVR (network dvr) service soon.

    Tax on DVR fee only?

    I'm in NJ and was taxed on the DVR fee last month. I called and they credited the $.42 (6.00 x 7%). I just got this month's bill and the tax is there again. I called customer service and they tell me NJ is charging it. I notice that they call it "DVR service" instead of a fee. I argued about...

    HGTV Gone...

    Scripps network demands seem outrageous. Over $1.00/subscriber for food network. At least that's what scripps think that it is worth. http://www.ilovehgtv.com/category/cablevision/ Thread on dslreports.com: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23571464-iO-Cablevision-dropping-HGTV-and-Food-Network

    NEW DVR Features

    I definitely agree that Cablevision overcompresses their digital channels. I've been able to compare Dish network and Cablevision's HD channels on my 37" LCD HDTV. I understand that cablevision still uses MPEG2 and Dish uses MPEG4 compression for their HD. For the SD, both Cablevision and Dish...

    How worried are you??

    It may have to do with MLB blackout rules. Dish doesn't have an agreement with YES.

    7.00 Reciever Lease Fee

    lease fee = additional receiver fee. So you will you two boxes, correct? Since the first one is included with the account, you will pay one $7.00 fee. I assume you will plug them to phone line/broadband connection. I wonder if the waiver you got is permanent or it's just one time for this month.

    New Dish Network Pricing

    Why don't you wait until your DISH HD rebate promotion expires? I'm sure the HD essentials package will be there in 5 months and you can downgrade then.
