Per FCC rules (Telecommunications Act of 1996), cable companies can only charge a "nominal monthly fee" for extra TV outlets. Most don't bother to charge that fee, and the ones that do, it's less than a dollar or so.

They can charge time and materials for the installation of those outlets, of course. But nothing prevents you from installing them yourself (and you'll probably do less damage to your house than the installer would).

We have had ATT cable and pay $10 each for the extra tv's. Now that it is comcast I wonder if they will continue to charge for the extra boxes. Nominal fee? I think the $10 is too much but I need the box for TV in my bedroom because it puts me to sleep every night, just like a sleeping pill!
