Have you looked at your cable bill lately?

You’ve been paying to rent your cable box for as much as $20 per month, but thanks to a new ruling by the Federal Communications Commission, those rental fees could be coming to an end.

The FCC has started the process to open set-top box tech to third parties, possibly leading to less monthly fees for customers, according to NJ.com.

You may be able to stop renting your box and instead purchase the box with a one-time fee.
