I emailed them and asked about this. You're correct if you get the free lease.jgantert said:Just to clarify from the small print...
"The hardware for the ITVN system (valued at $99.95) remains property of ITVN and is considered a free lease which must be returned upon cancellation of service."
Not to say that's a bad thing (if you cancel, you won't need the box!).

If you pay the $99, the box is yours. You can then turn the service off and on on a monthly basis, without returning the unit. This is how it was explained to me.
May be a better option for some people.
