   Thanks for the help, Jeff, and the others.   
      
   The kids finally figured out what service to buy and have it working now   
   using the Costco Arris SB6141 I shipped them.   
      
   They told me they're now paying $40/month (plus taxes of course) and that   
   they're supposed to get 55Mpbs down (5Mpbs up) with no installation charge.   
      
   Comcast did initially charge them $14.99 for a "device" that the kids told   
   me is a "PR150BNM", which they hand picked up at the Comcast store so as to   
   wipe out that 15-dollar charge. The kids tell me this PR150BNM is free,   
   which is news to me that Comcast gives out free hardware sans a monthly   
   rental fee.   
      
   At this very moment, they're still hooked up to the Costco Arris SB6141   
   modem, where they don't know what to do with this PR150BNM hardware.   
      
   In looking up what the PR150BNM is, apparently "Pace" makes it (which is   
   probably the "PR") and the "N" apparently means it's has "anyRoom DVR"   
   capability.   
      
   This has some information about the PR150BNM which is apparently something   
   called a "secondary boxs that is typically used with X1 DVR deployments"   
   http://www.dslreports.com/faq/17173   
      
   This press release apparently describes what this PR150BNM is, but I need   
   an interpreter to tell me what this press release says, in plain English.
