So I got my second Prime on Thursday. Went down to the Comcast office 
and picked up a second CableCard. The lady said the price dropped from 
$1.10 to $1.00. Whee!

Now I asked her again and again about the HD Programming fee. I asked 
her to make sure it wasn't added to my bill when she added the second 
card to my account. I asked her several times. She swore by all that 
Comcast holds holy that it wasn't.

Wait, that's not much of a promise. I'll have to see what happens on my 
next bill.

Anyway, I got the Prime attached to my network this evening and the card 
activated. I should get it configured in Myth tomorrow and say a 
sorrowful goodby to my classic HDHRs. Actually, it'll be a project to 
get my mono-directional digital antenna up into my attic and see if I 
can receive any OTA channels from Sutro tower in San Francisco some 25 
miles away.
