Thread: Bell TV 2010 New Channels discussion

Yeh that is strange. When they continued the Fireplace Channels after Christmas I assumed that it would be just a short time until all the 800 series channels were pulled off and so they couldn't be bothered removing the two channels. Now they've changed them over to something else. I guess they are still not ready to pull the plug. There must be some technical issue holding the shutdown up.

Nice images anyway.

Not sure that would even be possible, but who knows... You sure they didn't mean that by February 1st they will have 100 HD channels?

Bell claims to have over 100 HD Channels right now. Does this mean that on February 1st they will have 200 HD Channels. I don't think so.

Anybody know if BellTV will carry MovieTime HD? It is supposed to launch tomorrow.

I prefer Movietime to AMC. Even though they both have commercial interruptions, MovieTime shows the original uncut versions of movies unlike AMC which edits them for language.

The message about moving the channels has been there for at least 5 or 6 months. Some were told they'd be shutting down the 800s at the end of January, but it obviously didn't happen. So nobody really knows when.

Bell makes record profits every year.

Perceived value? By that logic, if the grocery store started giving everybody free milk forever, there would be an increase in perceived value and an increase in customer satisfaction. However, the price of all the other groceries would increase dramatically to make up for the free milk.

People who don't drink milk would complain, "But I don't use milk. Why don't they give away free eggs? Why should I pay more while someone else gets a free ride?"

Some would say, "That's discrimination against the lactose-intolerant."

A channel is a product, and isn't free to Bell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Bell pays the channel people based on the number of people subscribed to that channel.

My original point was that it may not be cost efficient for Bell to bundle the two packages together, or to simply add it in to a News & Learning package.

No need to apologize, haystack, but thanks, anyway.

So the newest channes added are?

CNN HD
TCM HD
CNNI
