| said by jfgobraves  :1. What is the cost to rent the box?( is there is discount for having more then one) The price of the service is 15.95. I don't think I'm paying a rental fee for the equipment.

HBO HD
Showtime HD
WISH (CBS)
WTHR (NBC)
WRTV (ABC)
WFYI (PBS)
WXIN (FOX)
Universal HD
said by jfgobraves :3. Will I get the espn broadcast of there games in HD? ESPN is part of the "HD Pack", it's in addition to the above service ( lame, I know ). That service is $7.95 and includes the following.
ESPN HD
Discovery HD Theater
HDNet
HDNet Movies
All in all, I think it's decent HD service, like all the others it lacks channels. I really wish more stations would start providing HD feeds.

What you wanna get is called a DVR HD Box
The box costs 7.95 a month and it includes a DVR (digital video recorder) and you get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Universal HD, and WFYI HD that are included free with the rental of the box...... You can also get the HD Pak for 5 or 6 dollars more and that includes ESPN HD, Discovery HD, HD Net, and HD Movies...... But there are packages you can get for discounts depending on the channels you want..... |

| I thought the regular digital box was $7.95, the single tuner DVR which I've been told isn't going to be available anymore is $12.95, and the new dual tuner DVR is $15.95. I think the new DVR might have a little cheaper rate for new customers. I got stuck with the high price. |

Bloomington, IN | Note BeasTeas Local stations are for Indiana, or at least for Bloomington. Insight is not really playing us very fair on the channels right now, if we have to pay extra for Discovery and ESPN, then at least we should be getting TNT with it. |
