By that logic Echostar never had a piracy problem, it had a faulty card problem. How you steal signals you haven't paid for is irrelevant. It's theft.

Its the biggest lightning show I've seen in years in Toronto. I wonder if something around Bev got hit since it appears to have been very close.

I would go but I suspect Pat Button would have me removed!

Thanks Lucky. Nice to hear some positive words and I hope Santa is good to you, however, judging by your signature, maybe a new tv first!

Mike, I agree. From Bell's perspective its just a re-purposed PPV channel. I wonder if it will require extra bandwidth so it could actually be two re-purposed PPV channels.

vaillan57, pls see the "FTA" forum for information about Free TO Air receivers.

If this was an isolated incident then I can see your point but it wasn't. Bell's imperious attitude towards its customers daily and this just is a flashpoint. As an ex-Bell ExpressVu user, I was subject to constant abuse from the CSR's when I tried to get issues resolved with the crappy...

It does not work with OTA.

+1 Francois. For many years (about 97 to 2003), all the pirating was done with Directv because it was comprised. Directv fixed the problem and, to my knowledge, has pretty much rid itself of the piracy problem. Pirates only turned to Dish and Bell when Directv got serious. Why Echostar can't...

Would the implementation of MPEG4 not be far cost effective?

And what did they tell you in those five times was the problem?

editor / Falcon, I posed the question directly to the Bell ExpressVu product manager responsible for the 9200 during a Bell press event last October (see my post above) and another member posted an email came from a Bell CSR today stating that it was native. So that leaves two options...

ENOUGH Anymore flames or rude posts will be deleted. Lets keep the rhetoric out of the discussion and stick to the facts.

Spor13, your questions are easily answered by searching these forums. Review this forum and you'll find a sticky thread dedicated to buying and selling used receivers http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=38236

I have pulled this from the Rant thread because it seems to be emblematic of Bell ExpressVu customer service. It seems the only solution is to contact the executive office and I encourage all disenchanted Bell Customers to do the same.

Certainly the 3100 is Standard Definition (SD) receiver so you will need to get an HD receiver (9242 or 6141) if you want to watch Bell TV in HD.

I thought pretty much every retailer no offers a free HD promo deal with an HDTV purchase? I would speak to your retailer. If that is not available then I think you are out of luck. Sorry but I have to ask, why buy and expensive 46" television and then balk at $10 a month?

I live in Toronto and PVR'd the OTA broadcast from Buffalo so Bell was still helpful for me. I got the PVR capability and the U.S. broadcast although in a slightly different fashion. see my thread on this!

I don't think so. Business is not a charity. Canadian company's will be out of business if they sell below cost to a Canadian company when they could make a profit by selling elsewhere. Best thing a Canadian company can do is make lots of money so they can hire more Canadians, pay more...

dbman, you keep adding stuff which makes this very confusing. You said your VCR can't record anymore but now you've added in the fact that you can't record to a new DVD recorder. The question is "can you still record to your VCR and if not, when did the problem begin?" If Bell suddenly...
