    Bringing OTA and Sat in the house on single coax.

    VIP DVR Price Increase

    my tivos have historically been rock soild. my dish dvrs varied from trash to at best decent, and had fees fees and more fees. my theory has always been dish compartimises the software to make hacking by insiders more difficult.. sadly that made the boxes software unfinished.......

    VIP DVR Price Increase

    perhaps dish grandfathered price is to avoid losing lots of customers upset by another fee increase. my lifetime tivo fee is zero:) I didnt mind buying my tivo and paying a bit more for it
