[Novalug] [OT] FiOS -- home-based servers?

[Terence Johnson]

I'm very curious what my bill will be.  The tech said that the install
includes a DVR, one SD box, and 3 TV's with local channels 4,5,7, or
something like that.  Then he said "I've got 4 boxes in my truck and a DVR,
what would you like me to setup?."  I had him install four TV's with SD (I
don't have a HDTV yet), and one of them has the DVR.  As Greg says... we'll
just have to see what the bill says.  I expect mine to be over $99, but not
sure how much.
