I could completely remove the Cable boxes/DVR and get a Cable Card for a TiVO instead. That would take another $32 off the $134.96 bringing monthly down to $102.96 BUT, i'd need to buy a TiVO and average that into the cost...
So the breakdown is this
FiOS triple play all the way including 2 of their DVRs: $134.28/month
FiOS triple play NO DVRs but a Cable card to use with TiVO $136.21/month doing 1 TiVO. $148.62/month doing 1 TiVO + a TiVO extender to have DVR in 2 rooms
The only plan she could find that was Internet Only was $59.99/month So: FiOS $59.99/month TiVO: $33.25/month (averaging out the cost of a $399 TiVO OTA) PS Vue Access Slim Subscription: $29.99/month HBO Now Subscription: $14.99/month Total: $138.22/month
I could back the PS Vue out of that one though....only put it in for OWN & HGTV (for family)....i'm thinking I could get those two a different way though
