Hi,

I am currently an All-in-one PVR subscriber and I am considering moving to the USA next summer to go to grad school. Do you think I should just continue my sub or should i just send the equipment back.
 
You may certainly continue your sub, however, you will need to maintain a Canadian address, otherwise BEV will refuse you service. Although it is illegal for Canadians to sub to American Satellite, the opposite is not true, but I believe BEV will stop the service if you have a US billing address.
 
It's up to you. Expressvu is not allowed to have sub's in the US, so you will need a Canadian address even after you move, if bell knows your moving to the US they will have to close your account. If your all in one, bell will have to do the restall if you moved, so you are better to return your rentals and buy a receiver to bring with you. You can aways get dishnet, or a FTA receiver to get your Canadian programing, no canadian providers will lose, but it will still be illegal to "test" expressvu in the US.
 
Bell Express Vu doesn't have the licence to broadcast in the USA you have many options:

-Bring it with you and take the risk. If Express Vu finds out that the servce is in the USA they will terminate the account right away, and early termianation charges will be applied if you have a contract. When you come back to Canada if you wantto restart you account there would be a 50$ reconnecton charge

-Put your service on TPS (Temporary Programming Suspension) if you will go only for a few month. It would cost you 10$/month if one throught internet or channel 188 and 15$/month if done throught an agent

-Terminate you service...
If you have a contract send a fax to 1-866-611-1135 or 416-446-3008 writing down you name, telephone number anda description of the situation (moving to USA, can not bring service). Send it along with a proof of yor moove (USA lease, job contract, school registration,ect...)
 
Agent, just for clarification; Is this charge JUST for the TPS or is this including any Equipment Rental Fees.??
 
How can a modeator of the site deliberatly suggest that the client tricks the compagny and uses the service illegally? With the rounds of wrning going on recently i'm surprised that this haven't been deleted...
 
Where in the US are you planning to move? As an Rving snowbird, I've watched ev in several southern states. Many stations did not come in. In Arizona for example, I lost all eastern US nets, some western US nets, and most BC stations. Many snowbirds have switched to sc for this reason. Also, as has been stated, you can't call ev and complain or they will cut you off. On the other hand, I've called sc from Tampa and asked where to aim my dish . . . and they helped me.
 
Some clarification on the second option 10$/month + rental charges of the receivers if you do it throught self serve (internet-channel 188) or
15$/month + rental charges of the receivers if done throught an agent

Star Choice as mentionned in another thread is currently under investigation by the CRTC. They have the same policies as we do but don't follow it. They should have shut down your account we you called...
 
It may be semantics, however, as stated, the client is not doing anything illegal by subbing to BEV while in the US, I guess your point is that by "tricking" the company that's the illegal activity. I guess we can leave that to the conscience of the client?

Considering that BEV is actually gaining a customer through this trick, I doubt BEV minds.
 
Do you think this is what Bev think of the people on minimum sub and the rest of the house filled with FTA's etc.?
 
You also have the option to live up to your contract and cancel your service as you are moving out of territory. For rental units, return them. For purchased units, by all means sell them. There may be harsh penalties in closing your account early but, hey, you signed that contract with eyes wide open. Bell ExpressVu is not a charity organisation. You have the option to fulfill your contract and pay for the full 24 months and cancel without penalty. Bell is not obligated to ensure you actually watch even 5 minutes of TV over the 730 days of your contract.
 
We have discussed this thread in the moderators forum. We will leave the thread as is.
That is true, but signal theft is breaking the law, while subscribing to BEV in the US is not.
 
Was this Temp Suspension not free several years ago.?

Before the latest round of Rentals.....
 
A customer moves outside of Bell territory:

1) Bell should NOT deliver service
2) The customer should exist the contract and pay ALL penalties for breaking it
3) Moving to the US and therefore ILLEGALLY installing a Bell ExpressVu dish in DishNet territory makes the customer a "felon" in the US and Canada
 
That breaks the compagny policy...people usually get warnings when the post comments against compagny policy, no?
 
Agent, it is called double standards, we are well used to it when dealing with Express Vu.

Might as well accept it, nothing will change.
