I recently discovered that Comcrap charges me $3.99 a month to "rent" a box for our bedroom TV. This is the small box digital converter that they sent when the switch to digital TV occurred a few years ago. It's a "DCI105COM1 digital transport adapter." My wife always pays the bills but I happened to notice this and I was a tad upset. So I'm paying 48 bucks a year for a $20 box. Is there a unit that can be purchased so I can stop paying this fee? They actually sent two and are charging for both even though we only use one. Customer service said as long as it's in our possession they charge. I had no idea we were renting it, and I am returning the extra one immediately.
Also, they recently sent an upgraded set top box and internet modem. They were going to charge 20 a month for the modem. I told them I bought my own and it works fine. You gotta watch these shysters.
