One last post to the thread before putting it to bed. Got my next bill. 
No sign of the hated HD Programming Fee and my second cable card was 
indeed just $1. So that's good news.

But thanks to Gary I carefully looked over the bill and sure enough, 
they were still charging me for two DTAs even though I turned one back 
in. The nice man on the phone said I'd get a credit. Sigh.

Anyone watch the recent South Park featuring the "Cable Company?" Yeah, 
it feels like that sometimes.
