I called last nite and was told for existing customers" like me" it
would cost $49.00 to install up to three more receivers. And the cost
would be 5.00 per month per receiver... That's what was offered to me
since I already lease my original STB. I even confirmed that my
original STB fee which is 9.50 per month will go down and they said
yes. ALL receivers are going to be 5.00 per month. I have them
bringing out 2 more receivers on Jan. 5th.

Sound like a good deal to me. Also you know that there will be more channels in March. And in 1-2 years there will be an enormous increase in channels as VOOM will be launching their own satellites.
