$99 for what? Your telling me E* doesn't give free equipment to new customers?Yea, but if you call the cable company or uverse you dont need to pay the 99 dollars "hd dvr fee" they just bring you the equipment for no charge, no questions asked! While, you may have, others are not so lucky and have had to pay for thier equipment!
My local Cable company also charges $18 per month for every HD DVR on your account, for 40 hours of SD recording time and 18 hours of HD recording. How could you put a price tage on a POS like that?
At least with E* I can watch 4 HD channels at once.
