Adelphia, who I used to have only has 1 box. If you get it as a DVR it comes with a harddrive and they charge an extra $5 for the box and then i think $10 for the "service" because their box (and I think the motorola's as well) require a main server at the cable company to provide the DVR stuff. I don't know if the motorola's work this way or not though... Does comcast charge a DVR fee on top of the box charge? -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
