VIP Receiver Activations

But the posts are not about you, they are about trojan67’s post that said the DVR fees are killing him... ;)

When I went with Comcast internet the first time they pushed hard for they’re DVR box for $20 equipment fee a month. That was nearly 10 years ago. $15 a month currently doesn’t bother me. Would I rather pay less? Absolutely! I just won’t drink any providers kool-aid. Value and cost are always the bottom line.

That is one the big complaints with cable/satellite. All of the fees, even for owned receivers. Comcast now at $24 for a receiver fee? That is crazy.

The alternative is to just raise the price of the programming packages. At least with receiver fees, only the people who are using multiple receivers are paying for them, which IMO is much more fair (since I only use one receiver).
 
We had the Hopper 1, and it would just shut off. After months of complaining I had the same tech come back, replacing the old cable/wiring, and then installing with new cable/wiring and then installed with the Hopper 3. I had no idea, that the Hopper 1 was installed for bad credit, and the Hopper 1 crawled at a snails pace. I usually never complain, but it was slow. I have even noticed, that the Hopper 3 pause button is disabled with each updates. I am not sure if that happens to others with the Hopper 3.

The pause button?? Never seen that one before. As for the Hopper 1, it wasn't always only installed for bad credit. They started that a few years ago - about the time the Hop[per 3 came out

They do not charge $24 for a box, this is what I get on my offer page.

This is with the 1G Broadband ( the only thing I have from them) and the Extra PKG( all the cable channels except Viacom’s and of course Premiums).
