Bell Tracking Receivers

That is very true taxwit, I will be at a Cottage this weekend and I know I will have a full house for the F1 Race on Sunday morning......

On the subject of connecting to phone lines etc, I seem to recall that Dish were or did buy a spectrum of frequencies that could be used by the receivers to take to the Mothership, so to speak. I wonder if that ever happened.

I wonder if it will be like some of the Utility Co's and a Dish Vehicle will drive down the streets, downloading info from receivers...Hmmmm Velly Interesting.....
 
As interesting as it sounds, with the low population density in Canada, combined to the fact that all their subscribers would require a hardware upgrade, I doubt they would invest tens if not hundreds of millions on a system that can be beaten by 20 cents worth of tinfoil...
 
Even though all my receivers are in the same house, if Bell ever called me to verify them, I would cancel immediately.
 
It happened to me. They left many messages and at some point said that I would get deactivated if I don't call within 24h. So I called and did the stupid verification but I also requested that a note be put under my account that if they ever ask again I would terminate my service. Seriously this probably took 20 minutes with all the waiting etc., what a PITA.
 
I have the max amount of receivers in my house and only two are plugged in to the tel line.

I've been a long time customers (no contracts) and in no time have I ever been contacted to verify the location of my receivers. As others have stated, when the receivers were sold to me (and the initial install) did they ever mention the units had to be hooked to a phone line or be verified if they felt like calling me up.

If they did call to verify I would say the same, either stop bugging me or else I cancel and will go elsewhere.
 
Read the terms of service:

It CLEARLY states in both places (slightly different wording)



Have I ever had any problems with NOT connecting my receivers? Nope. Did they call me? Yep. Most of the time I was not home so they left a message. I never called them back, and they never cut me off. BUT THEY CAN. It says so in the TOS.
