I think my actual DVR fee is less than $10 / mo with Direct TV -- and we have 3 DVR's in the house.
and I can't believe someone still uses a VCR -- do they still sell blank tapes for them??

They still sell vcrs so they still sell tapes. I think dvrs suck you spend all that money and you don't really have anything. You can't take your dvr copy to a friends house and watch it over there. I'm sticking with vcrs until the last tape is gone

That might depend upon what cable service provider you have. I recently got rid of a lot of channels and our dvr. Can you believe the DVR box cost $25 per month and the box without the dvr cost $5 with Charter?
Now that we do not have recording capabilities, we use on demand when we can. On demand includes some channels we already pay for and offers some programs. Not all channels are available and not all shows are available.
Netflix is $8 per month, but we purchased a Roku for a one time $50 to stream it to the TV. I found that streaming Netflix does not have as much as I thought it would. My DD15 likes to watch some of the TV series and when she has had her fill, we will switch over to Hulu Plus which is known to have more movies and is also about $8 per month.
With phone, cable and TV, our bill should now be about $100 per month.
We just disconnected our satellite. We have a wifi tv downstairs, a roku box upstairs. We have added Hulu plus and Netflix. Im using amazon video on demand for the walking dead, whn it starts.
I just bought a TiVo box off of eBay as well.
All told, our bill will drop from 150 a month (for satellite & Internet) to about 80 a month (Internet, Hulu plus, net flix, a few movie rentals).
I will probably pay for the lifetime service for TiVo. Mainly so we can pause or rewind and record Monday night football and shows on CBS (which doesn't stream).
I'm also looking at getting an apple tv box so we can watch videos from the iPad on the tv (food network shows online and other stuff).
I can't imagine watching TV without one.
It is an independent DVR. I bought a box off of eBay, with the wifi receiver, for about 100.00.
On the TiVo website, the clearance section had the same items for a total of over $150.
I'm waiting for them to be shipped so I haven't connected yet. The monthly fee is 14.99 or you can pay for lifetime service (on that box) for 400, I think.
There are different models depending on what you use. I made sure to get a box I could use with an ota (over the air antenna).
