Buy one on ebay for cheap.
These cable companys are crooks. The Freakin tuner cost them less than $50 to purchase outright. And im being generous with that $50 figure trust me. They just rip you off period!

[QUOTE=Lainey,Feb 17 2009, 03:17 PM] We have five, count 'em five TV's for two people and they ALL get used.
Kitchen one for AM news, and it's on whenever Rick cooks. Bedroom TV for AM news and while getting ready for work. Basement TV for use while on treadmill, and living room TV for PS2, and some TV watching, and one in our den for most TV watching.
I'm not about to give anyone the $$ for five cable boxes. So we have none. No digital, no premium channels, no DVR.

The FIOS guy came to my house a few weeks ago. I told him I only want the internet option as in internet only. He's like I can bundle TV, Phone and Internet. I kept pulling his chain, well if you give me only Internet then I don't need phone and TV. I don't think he got it but it was funny how he was asking how much I pay today and what I can save. I just kept telling him give me the internet and that will be the only way I would save.
