And anyone who has seen the difference between EV HD and a real 1080p source on a 1080p TV will know that there is a big difference in quality. :confused:
 
If it means cheaper, better TV service, YES. I lost my job to Chinese immigrants and outsourcing of jobs to India 8 years ago. Why should any other industries be different. :eek:

As to the 'Bell ExpressVu Full HD Tour'. EV may call it 'PR', I call it total 'BS'. EV should spend their money on improving their TV service, not this crap. I'm gone as soon as my credits run out.
 
Gee I thought it was all very cute as the Beavers are close personal friends and need our support!
 
It's simple - just keep using the term "Full HD" and "Bell ExpressVu" in your posts. Google will pick up on the thread, and all interested parties will end up here sooner or later.

I suspect they are pushing "Full HD" to those people who bought HDTVs but don't actually get HD service from their providers.

What I suspect is that they are also trying to clear out the old MPEG2 boxes to make room for the new MPEG4 boxes coming in December 2007.
 
I got two packs of skittles too!



I asked about that. Apparently it was never meant to work. (see video below of men in black working on the dish) All the video inside the trailer was pre-recorded.



The most amazing thing is this story by Media in Canada and I quote



Funny, I didn't see any Jet Ski commando etc did you?
 
I was reading in another thread about the crappy HD PPV movies
How about FULL HD , now playing, "For a Few Dollars More", made a real long time ago, heck, I dont even know if there were colour TV's back then, but we will play it, because we are the ONLY provider that has FULL HD
 
Thanks for the hint Mozza
I thought that I knew what Full HD was, and it wasnt on Bell ExpressVu, but on a HD or Blu ray dvd player
Hugh, can you get some digital home canada t shirts printed up for some of the dhc members to proudly wear while attending this exciting event?
I can't wait for wednesday, to come in here and read what all the fuss was about...
 
Anyone can guess how much money they will blow up on those 16 shows, and by how much they will have to increase all subscriptions to get that money back ?

I'm so glad I left the boat in time even though I know the increases will propagate to other providers after that.
 
No one owns the term Full HD and no one has ever defined Full HD as meaning 1080p so there is nothing to stop ExpressVu from using it in their marketing campaign.

IMHO, I dislike the use of the term Full HD to describe 1080p because its hyperbole and makes consumers fell cheap and stupid because they bought "less than full" HD.

If ExpressVu uses the term Full HD to describe their service then essentially it renders the term meaningless because it will mean so many different things and there will be no consensus.
 
You can switch any time , there are many other providers , Star choice , Rogers , Look . No point being stuck with Bell if you hate their service so much.
 
I had my HDTV for over a year, and didn't have HD service until May. I know at least 3 people presently who have had their HDTV sets for over a year, and do not have HD service. A couple of friends of mine are considering buying an HDTV, and neither of them are planning on subscribing to HD service.

Just sayin'.
 
No, no Jet Ski Commando's but there was an HD Loon in the Harbour.......

Did Media In Canada go to a different show.?
 
It's hard to find a TV that's not HD these days same as a tube TV. Big concern now is how my HDTV will look on SDTV transmission. People are not going to HDTV because of the technology they are going because the old TV broke.
 
Hugh, Nimiq, are you guys in this video?...

Sorry you don't like a response to your folly. I am now aware your post are a personal diary, Why would you apologize to I WANT MY HDTV when you have such a witty retort?
 
It's all about marketing. The goal is to make it sound new, innovative, and unique. Although HD is not new, many people don’t know that and they are trying to excite the market again; this is the right time to do it otherwise Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will claim the new HDTV owners.

Having said that, I think this campaign could be the perfect time to announce new receivers...that would create a bigger anticipation, even among existing HD consumers.
 
Or it just may mean their going to stick with as much 720p which IS ATSC sanctioned as real HD and NOT go the HD-Lite route that the Southern boys tried.

It is all clearly a marketing ploy, no doubt, but I have to respect that they are trying to educate consumers, if even to buy their own product.

How many IT guys go to "free training' sessions provider by a supplier that are really just thinly disguised marketing campaigns?

By education consumers, they are doing the entire industry a real service, but I'm sure that's not their intention.

I do hope it opens some eyes and allows consumers to now do some real research and a perfect place IS DHC. No doubt some will sign up that day and thats OK I guess.
 
Where are the other shows supposed to take place? I'd like to ask them why I don't get 59 HD channels...
