I have always said that while it is nice to hear positive things about your children I preferred hearing what someone said about them when they didn't know that I could hear them.

Our cable company (Cox cable) is going digital and in order to keep your cable you HAVE to get the boxes....one for every TV you own.
I have 4. Been trying to keep my cable bill steady, but it has been rising over the years....with no additional service provided.
I have lots of shows I record and watch the next day.....when you go to bed at primetime, it's the only option.
I have 5 dvd machines to handle all the recordings . Once Cox goes digital in August, these machines will not be able to be used. Recording capabilities can only occur with the machine that Cox provides (at a price).
My bill will increase and I'm just going to have to look at the extra expense as an entertainment cost. I don't do theaters, so that's my way to accept the change and have my 'system' upset.
Cox is a monopoly here. They have the best internet service.
So, I've got my 4 boxes, and have ordered the Cox machine that will record my shows.
Just venting and I don't like change.

Why in the world would anyone need 4 DVR's?
I may be wrong but I am pretty sure that you can watch a show that you have recorded on your DVR on any TV in your house that has a cable box. You may want to call Cox to see if this is an option; if it is not, and you are serious about trying to save money, why not just put the box w/DVR on the TV that you use the most often?
Charter charges for the first box and either $5 or 10 (per month) for each additional box----DVR's are extra.
You are right in that the prices they charge are quickly becoming outrageous. I spend $137/month for cable and internet and that is without any premium channels.
