Well this is going to be short but I just wanted to rant a bit about how cable companies in general always seem to give you the shaft.  My particular story goes like this.  I bought an HD TV a year ago.  I immediately wanted the DVR to go with it.  Worked out great, all except my bill ended up going up 50 bucks a month.  I was able to eat that for a year but now I need to scale back.     I decided to return the DVR and just...
