Hi guys this an exact replica of my cable bill with time warner cable
I noticed everysingle charge has jumped $1-2 dollars since a bill from january (why?)
So before I call I just want to get the jist of things, like what am I getting charged for?

why am I getting charged for the remote every single month? what is this DTV service that costs 8$ thats there 3 times?
can someone explain what the preffered tier and converter charge is?

I know the 4 premium channels are HBO,stars,showtime and cinemax

But I am still going to call and threaten them to cancel if they dont drop something, because I know Im getting ripped
(sorry Im a new to this)

That's pretty much on target if it includes telephone service. It sounds a bit high, if it doesn't.

Its appears that you have a double play with all premiums. Maybe drop some of the premiums and lower your hsi speed. See if they can offer a package deal for you. If you dont need a digital converter for each tv, drop it as well. GL
