    Bell TV On Central Vancouver Island

    Thanks, pjpete I wasn't sure how well BTV was faring out there with the various challenges. Everyone locally warns me that the rain in BC will drive Mrs. Chumley and me crazy!. Oh well, at least we won't have to shovel it in -30C temperatures in the winter... :D I don't know about becoming a...

    Call Display problem on Bell TV Receiver (Distinctive Ring Issue)

    I had the same problem here in Manitoba. I called Manitoba Allstream and had them switch off the distinctive ring feature permanently. Instant success. Now we can screen the 8** numbers and watch TV uninterrupted. :)

    Gender of BEV CSR Affects Service?

    Proficiency in English is the most import attribute of a CSR, not their plumbing. When I activated one of my PVRs , I had to ask 3 times for the CSR to repeat the receiver/smart card numbers back to me. They still did not get it right, and got quite annoyed with me. Last PVR was activated...

    Bell TV On Central Vancouver Island

    Hi, We're planning a move from Winnipeg to the Parksville area, on Vancouver Island. Can anyone living in the area or comment on their satisfaction with Bell satellite TV? I ask because of the look angle for their satellite at 82 degrees and because of possible outages from rain fade. Thanks...

    Satellite 82 troubles.

    Congrats, Aloen. I've had my trials and tribulations hooking up my 9200 on 91 and 82 as well. Self-installs are not for everyone, but what a cool feeling when you finally get everything working, eh? Persistence pays off. Digital Home Canada is the best source I've ever seen for advice...

    Program that gives satelite locations?

    Don't tell ExpressVu a thing. You might want to wear a trench coat and dark glasses though - - - the ExpressVu Special Ops unit might be conducting surveillance on your campground. :cool: Just enjoy the TV that you already pay ExVu for while you're camping. Websites like the one Pinza...

    Is My Switch on the Fritz?

    "Does the fact that my other two receivers work perfectly explain anything?" I had a similar thing happen on my install. My 9200 worked great. But, my old 4700 was screwed. Problem was a bent centre conductor hooked up to the recevier's output on the SW-44. I checked it 4 times before I...

    I want to cancel Movie Central

    Thanks, folks for all the replies. Your answers de-mystified things nicely for me. With the Sopranos gone, I imagine that a lot of U.S. subscribers have canceled their HBO packages. Their aren't a lot of must-see series on these days. Once again, thanks.

    Questions about splitting..

    This violates the EV service agreement and is illegal. Each dwelling unit requires a separate account. I don't think 2 receivers in the building is excessive. I just hope the renters don't order too many PPV's. Friends of ours came home from a vacation only to learn that their 16 year old...

    New Channel Lineup Coming?

    What a major ****-up! My guide was reading "3:00 PM" until I did a hard reset tonight. Hope they get things figured out... :rolleyes:

    Why make us order Rush, Equator and A&E HD?

    "Get Serious! You think that someone will go account by account to see if they have the old or current HD pack?" Seriously, there is this new technology called "computers". Computers keep track of stuff like client addresses, phone numbers and programming packages. It's the same technology...

    Call from BEV to "inventory" my receivers

    Don't worry about the interrogation session. I've had 2 of my 3 receivers in rooms that don't have phone jacks. I've never received a call at all. Even if you did get a call, they would just be looking for "location i.d.'s". They will walk you through how to find the info in your set-up menu on...

    I want to cancel Movie Central

    I guess this is directed at any ExVu CSR's that might be lurking around this board. Ok, the Sopranos are over. Mrs. Chumley and myself never watch Movie Central other than the Sopranos. I'm not slagging MC, we just never seem to have it on when any movies are airing that we find the...

    Call from BEV to "inventory" my receivers

    "Anyway, too much BS for taking a receiver camping. I just take it now whenever I go." Agreed. No point flogging a dead horse with Agent X. You'll just get another recitation of company BS from ExpressVu if you engage in debate with him on the camping issue. Let's not encourage him. It's like...

    Call from BEV to "inventory" my receivers

    "You have 3 receivers A-B and C... A and B are home and you bring C at the cottage. Before leaving you have to call us to let us know that you would bring C at the cottage and we would deactivate A and B from your account." Oh, everything is crystal clear now. ROTFLMOL You just made my day. I...
