Is this a good deal for the sale on these Bell Receivers

I believe EV still has an extended warranty plan for $5/mo. Not worth it for an SD receiver but for a 9200 + other receivers, it may be worthwhile.
 
i would simply rent the whole thing...that way, you get free install, and everything is under warranty...you also won't have to spend a ton of money up front, and you still get savings through the current promo for rental (50% off package for first 6 months).
 
I work for ExpressVu, middle management is about all I can say.

I understand why you would want his number, but you also must understand why they would not give it out, more than likely he is a sub-contractor for the National Install company we contract in Manitoba, (QX West). In fact I would believe that he would not be a direct employee of QX, these guys have a float of hardware they use and do not have to wait for equipment to be shipped per customer.

If you have any problems with the install tomorrow, (ie missed) I would suggest you contact the store you purchased it from and have them contact National Install.
 
But you will be locked into a two year contract as well. Personally I think it is a good deal, if you want/need HD tv. If you want any secondary receivers, I would suggest you add them later on, as they will charge $50 to install each. The first install if also free (which includes the sw44 with the the 6100/9200), another bonus.:D

No they won't, don't get any dish branded receiver, you won't be able to sub on it.
 
I still am wondering if I buy the HD PVR from my dealer at reg. price will my account be updated with a $300 credit later...
 
dj you are wrong here, log on to source advantage, (th bell ordering site) and check the costs.
 
i only got the 9200 because it was free (i used some rewards points from work for it)...after getting it hope, i found out it wouldn't hook up to my 13 year old Sony TV, so i bought a new 42" Panasonic plasma...i was planning on getting a new tv sometime next year, it just forced me to buy it early...i was going to just leave it in the box and store it in the basement, but the wife wanted it hooked up (she is a PVR junkie) and TV's are a good price anyway.

i do not know about the MPEG4 stuff, and haven't heard anything about it...personally, it sounds like it would be ridiculously expensive to replace 2+ million set top boxes currently in the field, and if anything, Bell would spend billions on IPTv and FTTN before they replaced everyone's sat receiver...why???...because IPTv and FTTN would bring in new revenues for bell, as well as perhaps help grab customers from other carriers and providers...spending money on replacing everyone's set top box provides no incremental revenue growth and would be seen as a waste of money (by shareholders/board of directors, etc)...just my opinion, that's all.
 
Since you need to buy the receiver to take advantage of this offer, what are the programming options? All of Bell's package (except one - Build your own) seems to come with a receiver rental included in the price.

All I know is that you have to get a 42$ min (47$ for English) package to get the credit (plus the 2 years contract :( ).

Do we have to take the "Build your own" package and then add sutff so it comes to 47$?
 
hey guys
brand new plasma owner here! now gotta get my HD all sorted out.

so with bell, am i to understand I have 2 HD options?

1). all-in-one for $98/month. 50% off for the first 6 months, then after that i go back to the regular payment of $98. (this option includes the HD PVR receiver, correct?)

2) buy my HD PVR receiver today and receive a $300 credit. Thus I pay $300 upfront. From there I can choose the HD essentials package and pay $67/month (i lose out on the movies).

am i missing anything?
 
I am renting the 9200 and a standard receiver.

This guy is simply put a business owner of a furniture store 15 minutes away in a town nearby.

He told me he "works" for BEV on Thursday's (making an exception for me on Friday). He is simply a independent BEV dealer. He is getting the hardware sent by Puralator.

I didn't get any National Install team, BEV sent the rental receivers to the nearest independent dealer of BEV in my region and is paying him to do the install.

I prefer this because in the future if I have problems I can check with this guy first.

I find it strange they are doing it this way. Probably because there closest national install team would be 1 hour away from me and with milage it would be simpler to use this dealer. But they are sending the receivers over Puraltor.

Anyways strange situation...
 
Went to all in one bundle.. feels safer to me.

Thats the edge SC has. Something breaks they replace. Something breaks with BEV your screwed. Thats why I am getting the rental package.

Then after the 6 months I will deduct $21 (Premium movies and 1 theme pack.

I am excited about the PVR and I get MC1 HD and MC2 HD too with all of this.

Off topic: still wondering this. is Pay-Per-Vu (thats what they call it with BEV...still find Vu odd.. most English people call it View anyways) a Bell version or is it Viewer's Choice.

I would really like a change from Viewers Choice..
 
Because many of the dish's in use are 18" (DISH 300) that were installed prior to 2003 when bell only had one satillite in use at 91". The 20" (DISH 500) have been in use since then for all new installs, and longterm subscribers have been upgraded as neccessaey when they add new content to their sub off sat 82.
 
Bell's pay-per-view service is called "Vu" and its their own ppv service.
Bell is not Viewers choice. And BTW, bell offer's some HD ppv movies also. HD ppv movies are around $5.99 each, versus $4.99 for a normal ppv movie.
 
You have it right, but you can also take your option 1 as outlined above, and after 6 months drop the movies and one theme pack for $77.00 in the AIO, or a number of other programing options, rental on the PVR is always $20.00 for the term of the contract, with full warranty.
 
hmmmm.. so $98 for the HD PVR package plus $6 for the bottom end receivers.. half of the $98 back for the 1st six month... can I then switch to the HD Essentials all-in-one package without the movies at $67 month?
 
Hmm I was wondering about Visions myself. Do you think they would go lower than the $599?

Anyone dealt with Visions for BEV?

Thanks
