Re: Former Dish subscriber
So what's the difference between paying a 1 time $200 (current upgrade price) with a monthly $5 DVR fee, and paying $20/month for a multi-room DVR? At the end of a year, you will have spent $260 for Dish and $240 for Verizon's. Almost equal. But at the end of 2 years, Dish is at $320 and Verizon is at $480. Even with just the standard DVR ($13/month), it's almost equal after 2 years.
Now this doesn't take into account programming fees, but they vary greatly from provider to provider so a direct apples to apples comparison can't be drawn.
My point is that, if looked at over a not-so-long term view, their isn't a lot of difference in price. One just has higher upfront costs but lower reoccuring fees, while the other has nothing upfront, but constant fees that can add up in the long term.
