DD-WRT is a lifesaver...my expensive router's firmware has been crap...the crew finally released a version for my router and it works excellent!

I accept bribesI...uh...have $2 and an expired Easy Mac coupon...good enough?
Equipment FeeThis can't be right, unless they are DVRs. Looks like you're being billed for two additional outlet fees when you should only have 1 - and it shouldn't be $16 (more like $8). Dump the Sports pack and you're at just over $90.
- Digital Box SD (2)
$15.90
And one thing with Comcast is that they try to suck every dime and nickel out of you. They are charging us 8 dollars to rent a box. Sure, not that bad, but for one of the crappiest packages that they can give us (no HD), it totals up to 100$ a month. To add the HD service, they charge 15-20$ here. Ohh, how much I hate moneyYou should be getting 1 SD box + 2 DTAs for free, then additional boxes at the additional outlet fee (here it's $8/mo). HD service here is only $7/mo as well (used to be $7/outlet, but that changed within the last couple months). Also your bill shouldn't be $100/mo on the basic package without HD - unless you have Internet with them. My current bill is $137 with the Starter+Internet bundle, $9.99 Preferred promotion, and HD (1 DTA/1 HD box, so no additional outlet fees).
And aside from that, I bought a new cable box from them to replace the DTA I have on my TV in the basement. I most certainly hope it isn't this one (look at attached picture). I want a clock on it! lol
She even twitpic it, and I also heard that she did the weather from there?Yeppers. Matt actually made a big deal about it (it looks like too they reordered their stories so she had an extra couple minutes to get there).
The DTAs are NOT free. They may be for a certain amount of time, but I think they add $5/month to your bill or something like that.You get 1 box plus 2 DTA's free with digital services here (I'd assume it's the same around the country or we'd hear about it). Additional DTA's are $1.99/mo without additional outlet fees, I believe.
