how a dvr cost
The downside of this is that you can pay anywhere from $5.99 to $12.99 per month for the ability to record your favorite shows. While there is typically no upfront cost, over the years you can end up paying more. Using a number of $10 per month, the two year cost of a provider DVR is $240. This isn't 100% accurate however as many MSOs also charge a set-top-box fee of anywhere from six to eight dollars per month. If your cable or satellite provider tacks this fee on then you're looking at approximately $340 over two years.
