Time Warner Cable Bait and Switch Durham Nationwide

Just spent another hour with a TWC technician in my home.  Just installed yesterday, but original installer was a trainee.  Turned out he didn't even hook up my VCR (they not are not supposed to) and didn't tell me.  Have called TWC 3 times in 1-1/2 days. 

The upshot is:  my vcr is not compatible with HD box: I understand that.
But, I found out that I am paying over $80 per month for  a special offer which was promoted as a $64.99/mo. price for both I-Net and Cable TV.

When I called TWC to order the DVR box today (while the 2nd tech. was here; they are not allowed to make the call) I was told that the DVR box would be $13.99/mo. (yesterday it was $12.99) plus "other charges" which would bring my bill up to @$130/mo.

So, approx. $37/ in extra charges per month for a $13-14 item.  Boy, do I have some homework to do.  I've got to get out of this w/o losing "too" much money.
