I've had the same problem on my 6100 several times as it is rarely used. I find that using the web service to re-sync/re-activate it is much more efficient than calling in. And you don't get the company line fed to you over and over and over and over and over. SHAME on you for not calling...

Got mine for a 9200, and my 6100. I also got one for a 9200 that was replaced by my current 9200 under warranty a year ago, as well as for a 3100 which died in a lightning strike two years ago--they were made aware about half a dozen times that I no longer had these receivers, but clearly they...

It definitely does read as being for IP TV. It does sound like they may be referring to a new piece of hardware capable of receiving the signals, not sure if they're just referring to existing dsl modems. Could BEV send signals via satellite in IP format? Would that consume less bandwidth...

More than 1000 kms from Edmonton and more than 1300 from Calgary here in Manitoba. BOTH are blacked out on Centre Ice. Particularly frustrating when Sportsnet West can only carry one of their (Edm/Cgy) games for 'local' coverage, and the other is playing god's team. Arbitrarily slicing up our...

Further to the whole 720p vs 1080i argument, isn't it illegal for a service provider to change the format from a 1080i to a 720p? I thought the CRTC outlawed this... I don't profess/pretend to be an expert, but I'm sure I read, somewhere, that a service provider (Bell, Rogers, etc) was not...

You can demand to speak to a level three tech, and being very insistent, they will pass you through. Although some seem to believe that since they all have access to the "same system" that no one can possibly do something different/better, but that is simply incorrect. There is a reason people...

BEV also 'mistakenly' 'gave away' the timeshifting on SD US networks for free to customers paying for the HD pack. ie, instead of charging these customers the $1 extra for the second feed of SD US networks, they did not charge them anything. At the time I signed up for HD, I was told that I...

PQ has definitely improved. We've had Bell's HD for about 6 or 7 years too, and the pic has never been as good as it has been lately. I am basing this on HD hockey broadcasts, and primetime US network shows. Other issues still exist (audio glitches on both optical and HDMI), but at least the...

I actually called in to tell them that I sold a 3100, as I wanted to make sure it was removed from my account. I also gave them the new owner's name ( a friend). He called in to activate it, and was not able to do so. Not sure exactly what the conversation went like, but know that he was...

If/When I can get NHLCI from someone else, then I may go that route. All well and fine for those with other options to cancel to 'send a message', but for those without other options, this is more of an inconvenience to the customer than it is to the provider. Never mind the investment in the...

Yet here you are... The issues people are having that are perpetuating this thread have little to do with the original issue, the channel being down. The issue is that customers were lied to. Again. You can bet that Bell employees further up the food chain than AEV read this forum, and this...

When they broadcast an HD show on A&E, it's good enough, and similar to viewing the network HD channels on BEV. They've stopped 'stretching' the 16*9 SD shows to fill the screen on the HD channel, and when these SD shows are on the result is a smaller 16*9 picture that looks very clear. It's...

I usually take long trips back 'home' to Ottawa, and ALWAYS bring my receiver with me. In the past it was not such a big issue as I could suspend my service with little or no cost for the duration, but with the new charges for suspending your service (actually paying to NOT receive the signal...

I've never had my 6100 or my 3100 connected to a phone line. I have had these for at least three years, and not a single call, yet. My 9200 was zapped by lightning (via the phone line) in early June. The only function that went dead was the phone line connectivity (dial out, caller ID)...

I used a baby monitor, and peaked it by tone. Much more effective than "communicating" with my wife.

I told Bell to shove it yesterday for this very reason. I do not watch SD. I don't watch 90% of the channels they force us to subscribe to in order to get the channels we do actually watch. I called, asked for assistance in fixing my programming to suit my needs, was told that dropping three...

Does Bell intend to use both 'birds' at 82? If so, then perhaps this opens up enough bandwidth to give us the 1080 feeds at mpeg2. Can mpeg4 compression give the customers good enough PQ to satisfy our 'give us real HD' demands, or would it actually have the opposite/nil effect for...

Unless they are going to demo some 1080p gear, they are walking a fine line in terms of misleading the public. Anyone who keeps up with current technology knows that the Full HD logo currently used identifies equipment that is 1080p capable.

Do you get other Bell services (than BEV) in Steinbach? IF your Credit Union doesn't have it set up yet, and further Bell services are indeed available, ask them to set it up ASAP, as it is a service you need from them. As far as I am aware, it is a relatively simple thing for them to do...

thank god it's not snow or they'd have to recall the military from Afghanistan.
