Ah, see I was in the same boat, I've only ever had the basic cable service.
When I got the CableCard I realized I'd need to sign up for something extra
or I wouldn't know if it was working or not, so I added the digital value
service.  The people at the desk did seem sure that it would include the HD
package for free.  From their additional options pricing sheet, $6.99 is the
rental fee for an HD receiver, so maybe that's what they were quoting for
you?  I double-checked with them just now, and they didn't add any charge
like that to my account, but I guess we'll see what I have when I activate
the card.
