If I had known about this web site I would have filed this report sooner.
Last Sept. Comcast came out to upgrade my cable box to digital at their request not mine. After the change out I found out I did not need a converter box to watch standard basic channels. They had descrambled their channels in August.
The only reason I needed a box was for PPV. (I have never use PPV as long as I have had cable.) a month and the new digital box
So, I have been paying for a Cable Box for a year when I really didn't need it. (Also, for my VCR.)
The new digital box would increase my converter rental from $3.25 a month to $5.00 a month.
When I called for the removal of the converter box I got the same run around as others. They said they couln't stop charges for the box until they picked it up. (which was 5 days out.) I told them I had already diconnected the box and wasn't using it. That made no difference.
I wonder how many other people are paying for a cable box they don't need? Didn't the telephone company SBC get sued for this kind of practice?
