Apples to Apples please, You still have to pay for internet service to add to that "about $135" so that brings it to "about $180-$200". Which is about $30-$50 more than I pay for similar service from Comcrap with 400Mbps internet & 230 channels of which I watch maybe 4 consistently and 10-15 on rare occasion. And that INCLUDES $25 ($15 + $10 for no-cap) rental of their modem because in order to get unlimited data (no 1TB cap) I have to use their modem or pay $25 extra if I use my own which is a wash. I need no-cap because I have 2 hi-res security cams which use about 700GB each a month. Yes, I know there are other cams that use less data but that was my choice.

I was an MDU tech support trainer for DirecTV for 5 years and love their DVR's vs Comcrap but don't like their pricing structure.
