Can we hook up BEV receiver at the campsite/cottage?

Hey Everyone,

If I have an Expressvu dish on my RV and go down to the U.S, can I still pick up a signal? How do I get ahold of the dish pointing information for the U.S?
 
cptcarter,

Focus only on post #12 it anwers your question then, enjoy camping and the service your are paying for.
 
Actually, by paying your bill, even once, you agree to all the terms and conditions and all changes to it, in perpetuity. It's not necessary to "sign a contract"; you "sign" the agreement by paying the first bill.

Anyone who says "they never signed anything" and feels they can therefore behave in any way with regard to stealing/borrowing the service in ways clearly against the terms they accepted by paying the bill might find themselves fighting an uphill battle in court.

If you don't like the terms, cancel and go elsewhere. Ducking responsibility doesn't cut it.
 
According to a global news story last month, they say more and more campsites are becoming equiped with Wireless access.

"granted, most campsites, 0 wireless access"
 
I am not a BEV customer but might be this Fall just to get NHL center ice. One of the things that held me back in the past was the "contracts for 2 years" I was afraid I was stuck if I didn't like BEV. Well, according to this thread I guess my "out" would be to take disconnect the reciever from my phone line and BEV would start calling me to verify location, I can ignore or say it is at the cottage and then BEV would deactivate my reciever???
 
What do you mean by the "cable gets split"? How would it be any different between using it for cable or satellite? Obviously, that cable connection on the outside of the trailer is meant for Cable TV rendering the need for the TV antenna useless if you use the cable.
 
When the time comes when I can afford a cottage...I'm sure I will grab a dish from Kusat or something to install it at the cottage and buy a receiver for it as well. I think you would be nuts to pay for two locations when you're the only owner. The CRTC should reverse that rule.
 
It was pretty simple to understand, but let's put an example for Mr to understand...

CALL # 1 from SAT:I have no time
CALL# 2 from SAT:It's just that some rceivers arecurrently not connected as I'm doing renovation
CALL # 3 from SAT:Well I was about to leave now, I have no time
SAT response:Sir if we don't do the verification right now it may limit you recepetion to only 2 receivers...
Client hung up
The system lets only 2 receivers active on the account and all others are DISABLED...to be able to reactivate it he needs to go throught the hole verifcation process.

Myself i'm not an expert, it's not my departement. but again, I learned that from a good friend that was in SAT departemnt for a few years.
 
$50K fine. I would just love to battle that in court.

That is the SAME as telling me that I can't listen to Q107 while I'm in Buffalo, or I can't listen to a Buffalo FM station while I'm in Toronto. RF knows now political boundary.

The FCC doesn't have the bandwidth to chase it, nor do they care. Industry Canada, and the 3 guys that work there, don't have the time.

This is EXACTLY the comments from the ExpressVu rep that will NEVER have me as an ExpressVu customer, even if they were the best game in town.

They are just SO narrow minded. The don't listen to their customers and have no clue what the competition is doing or what their customers really want.
 
As I posted earlier:
According to the CRTC it is NOT illegal to receive Canadian subscription services outside Canada ie for a motorhomer who is a Canadian resident - to take their receiver with them while traveling. It is a Bell's business policy.
Here is a letter from the CRTC to me:

"Dear Mr. -------------:

Thank you for your most recent message requesting further clarification.

In answer to your questions:

1. Is it Bell's policy or the CRTC policy that a Canadian can't receive Canadian transmissions while traveling in the USA. StarChoice said it is ok if one has a permanent residence in Canada for at least 6 months per year.

The CRTC's mandate does not regulate broadcasting activities outside of Canada. Bell Expressvu may be respecting the exclusive programming rights established in the purchasing of programming with the program supplier but there are no CRTC regulatory restrictions in broadcasting in the US. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates all aspects of broadcasting in the US. You may wish to check the FCC's website at www.fcc.gov for any restrictions in this area.

I couldn't find a specific reference on the FCC site. Is it that Bell is afraid of Homland Security and trying to enforce American laws which the Americans don't seem to be interested in - judging by by observations of Bell dishes all over in Arizona (on motorhomes, besides motorhomes or 5 wheels.) I didn't see any attached to buildings.

I am sorry you have been so bady brainwashed from above and can't even think for yourself.
Time for me to go out and continue modifying my dish for StarChoice.
By.
 
Not that we don't listen to customer...but laws are what they are! We don't have broadcasting rights in US as Dish and Direct TV don't have broadcasting rights in Canada. You will run in the same kind of problems if you have Dish in Canada or Direct TV. Haven't you heard about the big "seizure" they did in Quebec of Dish equipement?
 
Not allowing a cottages on the same account doesn't affect pirates, just already paying customers since pirates hack the system allowing them to get signals for free no matter where they are.
 
Nemnoch if my friend doesn't know what he is talking about why was he on the SAT team for over 5 years? I don't think Bell would have kept him, espacilly on that team, espacially when the incompetence is directly linked to the nature of his work (not knowing cottage policy in SAT team)
 
We would...by the location ID of the receiver

Bell has a multiple receiver verification departement rsponsible for applying that policy
 
Unless you mention to an gent your are in the US they can not really find out. They have a verification departement responsible for that (I belive they call it MRVP), but I don't think that that departement bothers you until you tell them something and they start having doubts. I was told by a rep that angles for installing a BEV dish in some US area are in fact in the system, they just can not give it out. They also have angles for other provider in their system apperently
 
Absolutely agreed. When Bell decided to suspend service for a specific receiver or a whole account because it lost track of the equipment it sold the client, that was a pretty dumb move. But Bell strives for excellence: and in dumbness, they win awards on this one.
