Ok so i am locked in a 2 year contract with an all-in-one pack.

Will I get this price jack.

Will I avoid it as long as I don't change my programming...
 
You misunderstood us.

People can rent receivers.

$3 / month for standard receiver
$10 / month for SD PVR
$10 / month for HD reciever
$20 / month for HD reciever

Other people buy them and never pay a monthly fee for them:

$99 for standard receiver
$300 for SD PVR
$300 for HD receiver
$600 for HD PVR

1 year warranty, no monthly fees for receivers,

People go with renting to upgrade to updated new devices and a worry free warranted hardware.
 
I had left then came back as a new customer, renting and added receivers after at no charge, 1 was mine for before, 2 were owned by others.

If this is the case than people should buy a take a advantage of the special and buy a new receiver half price, get it a a new dish installed for free (sell the old one and lnb), then add you old receiver after your self after.;)
 
I never received any notice about the $4.50 network charge they added for Bell Landline so I don't see why they would here.
 
40 new HD channels probably applies to after the MPEG-4/8PSK switch.
That sounds reasonable IF they use the right encoder: BEV can run
four hidef channel per transponder at around 7Mbps per channel.
Properly done MPEG-4 AVC/HP is at least twice as efficient as MPEG-2,
hence, each 7Mbps channel can be as good as 14Mbps today, e.g. HDNet.

In such a case BEV can effectively double the number of hidef channels it offers,
going from ~50 today to about 100.

Whether this makes sense from the consumer perspective is a different issue alltogether.

Diogen, seems to me that 8PSK make more financial sense,(that is if they are 8PSK ready) so the question to be asked are the current Bell receivers able to be converted to that modulation as are the StarChoice DSR 5xx receivers? Or is Bell going all the way to MPEG4? Is MPEG4 working in the US? Just a few questions that I would like answered...
Thanks
 
all notices of any upcoming changes, or proposed changes are printed in that section of your bill every month (if there is anything to print there).
 
Yes, MPEG-4 and 8PSK, have a look at this table.
I don't know what BEV's plans are, but I think they will do exactly what Dish does/will do.
