Comcast "Customer owned equipment Credit" so called

Just got hit with the latest round of price increases from our local monopolist. It forced me to look closely at my bill and I see that where I used to (years ago I recall) get a credit for not using their cable box (I have WMC with Ceton Tuner), I have a check mark next to "Customer Owned Equipment" in the general heading shown as "Equipment and Services". This is obviously not a credit and so I called them today and they stated this this is only available as a discount off their equipment. That isn't right, is it?

So what does your bill now say, "Additional Outlet: $9.99"?
When I used to have Comcast, I would rent a cablecard and have that additional outlet fee, along with a $2.50 credit for customer-owned equipment.
So my net cost to rent the card for my ceton tuner was $7.50/month.

I called Comcast when they stopped crediting me $5 a month 2 months ago. I have two cable cards I rent from them. 2nd card now costs me $10/month instead of $5. They refused to reinstate the monthly credit and told me I shouldn't have been getting it all this time.

The only way to win is not to play the game.

Seriously. In today's world, what benefit does the coax-delivered Comcast product bring?
