| $500 or MRDVR for life? I am moving and as part of moving I have a new contract.
With this contract are various offers, one offer is a $500 prepaid VISA gift card. The other is a MRDVR ($19.99/month) for life. Now of course the payback period of the MRDVR for life vs the $500 cars is 25 months.
The question I have is, will I run into a 'catch' or anything with the MRDVR for life, like if I change something on my contract or there's a new box that comes out, will I be stuck with mine?
If so, then I would go with the $500, but I know the MRDVR could end up being more profitable in the long run, as long as I don't lose it. |

I got the 500 gift card myself. I used it for many other things that I found more valuable than a free dvr. It helped pay for a lot of moving expense necessities for me. |

| That's what I am thinking, since I am 'moving up' also spending a lot of cash on closing costs. The $500 up front could cover a lot of those ancillary costs from moving.
Did you move or get new service? If you moved, did you keep your boxes? I am only moving within the township so it's not a far move, wouldn't want to fight over my 7232's |

I moved from an area that didn't have FIOS, so it was totally new to me. |
