Do I need their receiver boxes

[agmccall]

Hello All

I was just on the Dtv website and wanted to order a package, the one for $29.00 By the time everything was set my bill would have been around $75.00 (More than double) this was for leasing boxes and whatnot.

My house has the coax wired in 4 location and they all meet at a central location in the basement. I have a magnavox dvr that I use with my tv now. Do I need a receiver box for all my tv's or can I tune the channels with just the TV like cable

THanks

You will need either a receiver/dvr for each tv, or a tv that is rvu capable. The rvu capable tvs only work with an HR34 or HR44 in the system

And you will still pay for an "additional tv" with an RVU tv

So yes you need to pay all these fees if you are interested in dtv.

Most cable companies are doing away with their analog broadcasts that you can receive without a box and going the way of encryption and digital boxes too.
