The 14-day guide data subscription is priced at $29.99/year or $4.99/mo or $240 for a lifetime subscription, for up to two dual-tuner or single-tuner units at the same address. 14-day guide data requires an Internet connection. Devices under the same account, same physical address and same IP address are considered to be at the same address. The fee for additional devices beyond two units is priced at $15/year. Zapper Mini devices do not require a guide data subscription since they do not have a tuner.
Guide data for the quad tuner will be priced at $50/year or $400 for a lifetime subscription. A subscription is mandatory for the quad tuner. A quad tuner subscription covers all ZapperBox devices in a home. Without a whole home subscription, a quad-tuner device will act like a single tuner device with no DVR or gateway features.
