Either I calculate wrong, or Starhub's lying.

With reference to http://www.starhub.com/portal/site/CableTV/menuitem.227318645a7b5eb3f75eb1109b1000a0/?vgnextoid=781e4e0621085010VgnVCM100000c901a8c0RCRD
Action Seekers
Usual Price: $82.39
Value Price: $67.41
3 Basic Groups
Sports with either:
- Cinemax +The HBO PAK
- HBO + STAR MOVIES
3 Basic Groups: $24
Sports: $25
Cinemax: $8
HBO Pak: $16
HBO: $12
Star Movies: $12
Hence, Action Seekers should add up to:
$24 + $25 + $8 + $16 OR
$24 + $25 + $12 + $12
Both adds up to $73, after GST = $78.11, NOT $82.39
The bill sent to my house was $63, after GST = $67.41, which tally with the stated amount. In other words, Starhub marks up the Usual Price to make their "offer" look much more attractive!
Let's look at another case.
Movie Lovers
Usual Price: $68.48
Value Price: $55.64
3 Basic Groups
Cinemax
The HBO PAK
STAR MOVIES
$25 + $8 + $16 + $12 = $60, after GST = $64.20, NOT $68.48
Is it my calculation error? If it is, I apologise to Starhub in advance.
EDIT: Mystery solved!! Apologies to Starhub, fellow sgforum members, and may everyone enjoy the upcoming new year (: -

6. Subscription to HBO is required before subscription to The HBO PAK. Current HBO subscribers can upgrade to The HBO PAK for additional $4.28 per month.
The monthly rental charge of $4.28 for the first digital set-top box is waived with subscription to any Value Packs (exclude Happy Family Value Pack), Family Plus Tier or channels/groups from Digital Add-On Tier (Complimentary use of first digital set-top box).
and others of course. You go read yourself. -
Perhaps they don't consider the 3 Basic Group as 24 dollars because 3 Basic Group together is also an offer? Means they don't calculate by 3 Basic Groups, together, but rather, group by group
$82.39 / 1.07 = $77 exact
Edit:
Gasfene is right
78.11 + 4.28 = 82.39 -
