Again, I had a csr told me when I added HD Pack (and HD receiver) that I no longer would need to pay the $1 for the extra US Nets, that they (SD extra nets) were included with the HDPACK.

As I promised :) , Bell has game in the FOX Window (before 7PM ET) this weekend (6/23) in EI. MLB1 Philadelphia/Stl. Louis Bell is using an KSDK OTA feed for it.

However, games on superstations on American providers CAN be blacked out in local markets. IE, games on WPIX, WGN, and TBS can be blacked out in US markets. Not so on EVU. All games on those channels are nationally carried 100% of the time. Also outside of Dishnetwork (who no longer carry...

re: mover's signature NHL blackouts have nothing to do with selling more tickets. They have to do with protecting local television rights holders. CBC has national rights.

Inflation is at about at 5% isn't it?

SNET originally had the game scheduled for SNET West, but dropped it Mon/Tue for Bonds chase. EVU not pay enough attention to realize stuff like that. The purpose of sports packages are to give you games that you could normally not see. You can normally see the games on the stations you list.

RDS is also included for free with NHL CI.

Because of transmission and contract issues, only Cablevision in NY is able to show MSG HD and FSNNY HD games. You won't find it anywhere else.

I would suspect that those 8 share bandwidth. You will never see all 8 up at the same time. In the same way, Bell has ~16 HD channels (6 MLBEI, 2 NCAA, 4 NHLCI (last year, maybe 6 this year), at least 4 NFL ST, NASCAR Hot Pass - no idea), set aside for premium sports, but you will never see...

Basically, you are saying that you think they should be in the package. I am saying that it would be nice that they are in there, but I understand why they are not and I am glad that it is still possible to get those games through traditional methods.

I use a Legacy Quad which in theory Bell doesn't know exists rather than sw44 that requires a power source. Cheaper and more convenient. At the same time, if there is an unlikely scenerio that I would need to get the "proper" equipment.

Star Choice and Shaw had 2 NHLCI HD channels last year. Bell had 4. Bell has 6 MLB EI HD channels this season. Bell has 2 NCAA HD channels. Bell had more NFL ST HD channels than Star Choice and Shaw. I believe the same holds true for Rogers and the like. How many HD channels are in Rogers...

I had shaw for cable and internet. Satisfied with internet. Wouldn't leave Bell to go back to Shaw for a million bucks.

Agent - Any idea how many EI orders there have been? How many NFL ST subs there are? NCAA? NHL CI?

Probably short term, SC would not want it passed since it looks like they don't have b/w for it anyways. I would think that NHL contracts with TSN/CBC would cause those games to be blacked out, but perhaps available in NHL CI. I could see them in CI this year anyways.

Reminder that EVU needs 30 day cancellation notice. You might be able to leverage yourself a free EVU HDPVR when you cancel and/or get discount on programming to stay with EVU.

Sensual Poet - Please note that there was no implication of account splitting in my reply. I assume buying a used receiver meant buying a used receiver and calling up Bell as a new sub without a new contract. (as ScaryBob pointed out.) New customers activating new receivers will have a...

"6) Trying to get ppl to buy PPV for sports programming (Boxing) at $50 when the same programming is available south of the border and is included in the programming packages." Only time HBO Boxing for example appears on PPV is when NO CANADIAN station will purchase the rights to it. It is the...

Yes, they are national channels. NBC's games (and ABC/FOX in the past) shown are all regionally televised, IE, not all games available throughout the entire country. Beginning next season, only one game will be on NBC each week, I wonder if NHLCI will change. I would guess probably not. I...
