Last month I tried to return my cable boxes. The guy at the counter gave me a big discount in exchange for keeping them, so, I agreed. But when my bill came this month, I noticed my discount was not tied to my cable boxes in any way.
Tonight, I returned my two boxes and saved $18 per month! In addition, Time Warner has several other charges, such as The Guide, that I was able to drop and save around $5 per month. That puts my total savings so far at around $125 per month! Imagine what I could do with that extra $1500 per year!
When I turned over the boxes, the guy warned me that within a year Time Warner was switching everything over to digital so I would need a cable box to watch TV. What they are going to do is scramble the cable signal and require you to either buy or rent a cable box. I have heard the digital converter boxes will be free for the first year, and then $1.50 per month thereafter. I am not sure that is true, but I figure I will deal with it if and when it ever happens. By that time so might be converted to Dish and not care!
I'm not done cutting this cable bill. I have a lot more money to save! Tune back later to follow my crusade.
