I subscribe to Leafs tv, so i was told i should get leafs tv HD... but from what i've been told, the channel only shows select leaf games.
What i really care about the most is TSN HD, SN-HD, and The American Networks ( WGN, NBC.. etc..)
 
And other rumours for 2007 include:
1) Bell will employ a secure encryption system
2) Iran and Iraq will become democracies
3) The Liberals will win a majority without electing a single member west of Ontario
4) Bell will actually simsub BGM channels properly
 
luch,

Have you subcribed to Sports 1? If not you don't get the HD Sportsnet.

Also, something I found out was that BEV does not always show channels you are not subscribed to on the Guide - e.g., TMN.

My advice is to go though the printed channel listings and compare it with the channels you have ordered. When I did this I found I was missing HD A&E. Not only was I not receiving it, it didn't show on the Guide. I called them and they fixed it.
 
Hey Falcon thanks for the great list, where did you get City TV East and West? Isn`t it just East? Any others can clarify?
 
You should get Leafs TV HD. Forget about the US Networks, you'll have to pay for the HD package to get them.
 
dave2, richard k,

Thanks for the responses. I am subscribed to sports 1. Tried keying in 851 and nothing, diverted to 850 (tsn hd). Thanks for the advice. Going to give them a call asap.

Cheers.
 
update ^

all sorted, apparently SNETHD and Raptors HD weren't added orginially. Now they are :D

cheers
 
*C charges more for their basic programming to receive the `free`hd, ($7 more) and will charge, not a rumor, $5 for `premium`HD channels, so they will be a min $40 for a majority of their HD lineup, Bell will still be $37, hmmmm cheaper than free.
 
i think you have to add the HD $10 pack in order to get ANY HD channels...i don't think you will get any of them if you don't add the package...if you want to "try" them, why not simply put the $10 package on for a month and try them...if you don't like them, you can always remove it after a month...i can assure you once you go HD, you won't go back.
 
any idea if we have to add Rush and Equator, or if we automatically get them with the HD package once the free previews end?
 
Yeah, what is with BEV's thing with free preview HD channels.

I sub to the $10 pack and have to call in for A&E HD.

And soon we'll have to call in for Rush and Equater, and HDnet (isn't that free preview).

Will TSNHD require a call in after there 2 week free preview?

What is the purpose?

I have a hunch its to freeze people who are on grand-fathered packages so they have to upgrade their plans.
 
To answer Bailey's question about capacity, there is no hard limit to satelite or channel capacity. All they do is keep on cramming in more channels, by compressing more and reducing picture quality, till we all start complaining.
Who complains louder, the people who want more (useless) channels, or the people who want picture quality.
Yes, they and we'd all like to go to mpeg4, but look at the logistics of doing that; duplicate all programming in Mpeg4 while we all trade in our recievers over a couple of years? I'm pretty sure there is a whole slew of people looking for better ways to make that changover.
Bell has a new satelite coming.... stay tuned.
 
They will switch the receivers first. It would be a huge undertaking for SD. Not so bad for HD, at least not yet. They could also do things like Dish, put all new HD MPEG4 channels on a separate satellite and tell people to buy a new receiver if they want them. There will be a new EV sat going up at 72.5 in a couple of years.
 
New subscriber as of yesterday :D ... I have searched but cannot for the life of me, find Sportnet HD. Can anyone tell me what channel # it is? BTW, I am on the HD Extra All-in-One pkg.

Thanks in advance.
 
From my knowledge Bell is lacking:

The Score HD
SUNTV HD
OMNI 1 HD
OMNI 2 HD

Few French HD channels.
 
Bell with CTV (and ROGERS to some extent) are trying to 'bury' free HD/TV before it catches on, check out the OTA (Over The Air forum)
