    Is Expressvu coming out with 1080p programming?

    Sorry :D I call it as I see it. There is no lost love between BEV and I but on this front they get kudos from me. The truth is every single one of our great Canadian telecom company is an evil empire led by a guy wearing a black cape/helmet and breathing loudly. Our only choice is what...

    Is Expressvu coming out with 1080p programming?

    I'd rather see Bell downconvert to 720p but keep image quality than see Vid

    Purchase Mounting Bracket for SW44?

    Don't waste your time (and money), the one I have doesn't even fit a SW44 (too large and the screw holes don't match). Zip ties work very well.

    Renting a 9200 - existing customer

    There are TWO articles that I have quoted. Both are related in this case. The first says you can't be charged or made to pay or have an obligation for something other than what you buy/lease. That means they cannot legally OBLIGE you to get professional installation just because you're renting a...

    Bell Marketing

    The thing is, there's so little competition in telecommunications in Canada that they can all afford to do just that because they know they gain just as many disgruntled customers as they lose. What we need is a true giant to come over and seize the market with good quality products and...

    Just got Bell TV installed, not happy so far... Help please

    That's not quite true. Image quality can and will degrade as the signal drops, just not in the same linear way an analog signal would. That's when you get mosaic artifacts and the like.

    Split: Unfortunate ExpressVu Customer of the Week - My Little Rant

    Well apparently not because he DIDN'T FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM! I bet his average call length stat is great though so that means he's an excellent CSR right? Who gives a flying **** why you people keep making mistakes? It took three CSRs before this guy got the simple upgrade in programming he...

    9200 Remote and Sony Amplifier

    Often cheap electronic companies will rebrand competitor's products and sell them as their own. When they do the remote codes that have to be used are the ones for the original manufacturer, not the one that's displayed on the device. For example my Toshiba TV was really manufactured by LG so I...

    10th Anniversary Prizes - 'Wireless Game Controller'

    I won the two fleece jackets set. They must've been made in the North Pole though because they're sized for elfs.

    Billing mistakes here too...

    No but I'm sure she's very happy that the CSRs she speaks too all make their bonus for good customer service :D

    Renting a 9200 - existing customer

    I certainly can, although it will be in French. From "la Loi sur la protection du consommateur": http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=2&file=/P_40_1/P40_1.html Which means that Bell cannot oblige you to pay for something else just because you buy or...

    30 day for cancellation with no contract?

    If that really is your policy (which I know better than to take your word for it, considering the amount of disinformation you spread on these forums on a daily basis), it IS illegal, at least in Qu

    EV SHOW Magazine Going Paperless

    If they don't want people to call to "downgrade" then they shouldn't "upgrade" without the customer's permission.

    2nd receiver does not have any programs (channels)

    The problem is that the receiver has to remain connected to the signal and powered on or it will miss some signal updates and revert back to a "non-subscribed" status, unless it's left on for a while to get synchronized again. It is a measure that was put in place by Bell to annoy pirates even...

    TMN HD & MPIX HD on BEV--> Constant Audio Drop Outs

    I would suggest NuFinish instead. It's a polish, as opposed to a wax (i.e. carnauba wax, which evaporates within a few weeks), which means you can go for months between applications (I do mine once a year). On topic: I too am suffering from audio dropoouts on most HD channels. Running a 9200...

    Split: Unfortunate ExpressVu Customer of the Week - My Little Rant

    You stated previously that these Direct Sales guys were unreliable and would tell us anything to get us to subscribe, whether it was actually possible to get what they promised us or not. Now you're saying they're the BEST option to sign up? Is your company that incompetent or is it just you...

    Going back to BEV

    Two rules of thumb when you deal with Bev (or Bell in general): 1. Always ask for a detailed written (either fax or email) description of your deal. 2. Never set up your account for automatic billing. That is especially true in Qu

    How to deal with BEV billing errors

    Hahaha, I must say this one almost made me piss my pants! Isn't that what you people always say when we call? "Don't worry, your credit will be on next month's bill." If it isn't then we get to call back more than 7 days after the initial call which only serves to raise your useless "first call...
