To add to your above statement about 2 TVs.  I pay for HBO, as a separate cost.
Which I believe gives me the right to watch HBO on one TV and a regular cable
channel on another TV.  But, according to the cable company, this is a no no.
This separate fee above and beyond the cost of basic cable does not constitute
you using another TV.  How do you figure.  I am paying a separate fee, I should
be able to watch it separately.
