how much is the rental for a dvr box…?
does the dvr box replace the existing scientific atlantic cable box?
if you work there… what is YOUR rate for the box?
just wondering…
if anybody has a link to the BASE rates for each adelphia service that would be wonderful
thanks

They changed the pricing structure it’s now $8.70 per month for a DVR box.

I believe the prices quoted are correct for the DVR box… I just got the price update sheet the other day…
I believe the DVR service is another $5/mo, but I’m not 100% on that.
Oh, nad for those who say it isn’t worth it… I use mine constantly.

adelphia is one fucking shady company. i wouldnt be surprised if they charge different people different amounts. and the people who work at their office on maple are super retards (dont know if anyone here works there {so dont flame}, oh and I dont mean to offend the retards on here).
