Removed RVU Client From Account

[Joe The Dragon]

If your cable company has ANY devices that use cable cards, they are REQUIRED by law to rent cable cards to end users. So you can rent one cable card, and buy your own Tivo and minis. Then the only thing you pay to your cable company is the rental for that cable card. I pay $1.99/month to Mediacom for the cable card for my Tivo, but other cable companies charge more. You pay more up front for the Tivo plus lifetime service, but at the rates you quote it would pay for itself in no time if you have several TVs.

well Comcast is trying to push iptv that will not work on cable cards and in the past they had a few plans that where not offered to cable card subs.

7.50? it's more like $9-10+

Since it's still considered an "owned device" (ie: like a Tivo, etc.) they would give you their $2.50 owned equip credit on Roku's as well...

I would keep an eye on next months bill as well and if its not there by then, i would say your good to go.

Yes, I will!
I just didn't have the patience to call back and try to make them understand what RVU is.

Yes, once Comcast gets all the cable card using devices they own off their network, they no longer have to support cable cards. That seems to be their goal (plus using 192 MHz wide DOCSIS channels is way more efficient than 6 MHz wide QAM channels)
