Brighthouse charges the following to lease their equipment:
CableCard: $3.95
Set-Top Box with a CableCard: $6.95
HD DVR with 2 Cable Cards: $6.95

Don't forget the additional digital outlet fees. For my S3 (Brighthouse, Pinellas) it costs me $3.95x2 for the CableCARDs and then $0.95 for the "additional" digital outlet (which is the second CableCARD).

If I were to get a second S3, the two extra CableCARDs would really cost $4.90 each ($3.95 + 0.95 A/O). I don't think they do that for their own set-top boxes.

FWIW, Brighthouse in Tampa does not charge me the additional outlet fee of $0.95. You may want to call back on that one and ask them to remove it since you are using only one outlet for two cards.

I've tried that here in Pinellas and have never had any luck. I suspect the reps don't know how to do that in the billing system (2 cards, 1 outlet). It's been a few months though, maybe I should try again.
