Radical plan proposed by someone to me on another forum...
Been trying to cut my TWC bill for a long time and they only find plans that manage to increase the cost to me.
Give back my 3 HD DVRs to Time Warner and instead get 1 cable card.
The cable card I can put in a TiVo Roamio Plus and the other two DVRs in the house I replace with TiVo Minis. In fact I can have as many TiVo Minis as I need and there is no monthly fee for them.
The cable card costs only $2.50 monthly, the Roamio will cost $14.99 a month or $500 for lifetime service from the box. (I would do monthly because what if the box doesn't last 3 years... plus there may eb something better by then.)
I would love Pay Per View (never use it) and On Demand (rarely use it) but otherwise everything else I'm used to would work, and better, as real TiVo has the 30 second slip where as the cable company DVRs disable that feature.
Yes it's an upfront investment and I have to check the numbers but I think this pays for itself in a year.
