If they do charge a 'rental' for the box, within time, they are going to break even on the cost, and begin to profit - and you are going to pay more...how do peeps think it will work out..give both options of buying or renting the PVR?
The US model has rolled out PVR with boxes still owned by the cable co, you pay a premium for the box over a standard box.
