If I may hop in here, I had the same question.
I have a new install coming this Saturday and was wondering about connecting to the internet.
Since It's a new install, I'm assuming I'll get an HR24?
Do I just need to plug into my network? Or do I actually need to pay the $25 internet install fee?
Also, would I need to plug in each receiver that I wanted VOD on, or is one ison the network, will VOD work on all boxes since I'm getting the whole-home service?
