I find it funny that current BEV HD ads tout it as the "True HD" experience. It seems they realized their error in the "FULL HD" promo. Pure marketing genius.

Sportsfan, just to clarify, I have the "old HD pack", these channels always showed up 'red' in my guide (meaning I could not get them), I never called to ask to get them, and now I have them. You interpreted my original post correctly.

Particularly ridiculous since you aren't supposed to be able to cancel CI. In the past at least, once you signed up, you were in it for the full season. Remember folks, this is an organization that only very recently added such advanced features as e-billing to their arsenal of on-line tools...

Bell's website has been problematic for years. Besides being VEEERRRYYYY slow, they are only just beginning to catch up to the on-line commerce concept that's been around for years. It took them more than a full year to get me my first e-bill after I subscribed to it, and even then only after...

It's a good thing it's baseball then.

Sorry if you have, but try holding the power switch (on the receiver) to force a reset, THEN do a check switch again. My 9200 went goofy yesterday/today with the same strange symptoms, and I had to do a reset, then a checkswitch to get it back. Barring that, have fun with tech support 'cause...

My 9200 went all buggy and acting in a strange manner, including the check switch, acquire satellite, and downloading guide problems in this thread. It also started doing some really funky stuff with the recording tuners, essentially acting like a single tuner PVR for a while, something I have...

$6.95 and worth every single penny.

NHL CI is auto-renewed as well, or at least it has been the last three years. I believe it is October through April or May, not that it matters as you are on the hook for the full term once you subscribe. It sure would be nice if Bell at least matched StarChoice's offer of $200 for NHL CI and...

It was down at the source...

When it's on, each channel shows a different game. The HD channels are usually duplicated on two of the SD feeds (NHL1 through NHL10). The countdown is on.

wrt to the title, they activated/unlocked these channels for me yesterday, with no prompt. But now I'm missing CBCHD 802? wtf are these clowns up to? Can't they get anything right, aside from making sure I receive and pay my bill evey month?

The delay in changing channels is usually a second or two for me, it seems to vary sometimes, but is never six or seven seconds. It may just seem that long compared to other receivers/cable, etc. Try timing it, and if it is six or seven seconds, there is possibly something wrong. I'm not sure...

MMRetro is a huge loss, especially when seeing the addition of BITE. The BITE target audience is much more likely to be surfing the content on YouTube and Crackbooking than watching BITE. No way would I take that bet, you'll most certainly win...

Anyone else notice that A&E and the other previously "on request" HD channels are suddenly unlocked? Co-incidence? Obviously someone is completely asleep at the wheel at Bell. Typical that they'd blame it on the "source".
