Thread: Bell TV 2010 New Channels discussion

As a returning Bell TV subscriber (switched to another supplier for roughly a year), I am very happy with the additional channels Bell has added in the past year, especially HD ones. The selection is far more than my previous supplier, and I am just getting adjusted to the new channels I did not have before. (Golf HD, AMC-HD, TCM-HD, and the two new Movie Network HD channels)

Since this thread is about new channels that one would like to see added, I will put in my two cents and mention History HD, CBC Newsworld HD and Spike HD as three at the top of my list.

Even though I did have Speed HD with my previous provider, it is not a high priority for me right now with Bell, since I never watched that channel.

Can't we just discuss NEW CHANNELS? Surely the "value" and "marketing" issues are for another thread.

I would like to see it replaced with the NASA channel, or even better NASA HD.

I'm waiting for Speed HD very badly. I can't believe they haven't had it yet. My parents are hooked with Shaw and have Speed HD and it's incredible. I kept saying to myself Saturday and Sunday how freaking sweet it would of been watching every hour(I missed an hour total of coverage)of the Rolex 24h in HD.

I could tell I was missing out when I watched the X-Games on TSN2 HD. Watching the replays in Mega-Mo was a treat for the eyes.

WSBK 296 now active on my receiver. I've had Family 1 for the past three years. Didn't have to ask for WSBK. Next question. What does WSBK offer that makes it worth having? Anything stupendous?

Note: Animal Planet is still not active (really don't care one way or the other). I'm on the old News & Learning 1. You'd think by now Bell would just say what the heck and give it to everyone. Having to ask for it is just plain stupid.

I know Drive-In is going, but I haven't heard about Sex TV yet. I'll have to look it up.

Bocca as you pointed out in post 205 the subject matter is pretty thin. I don't think expanding it to cover how new channels are presented is too far from the intent of the thread .

Is CNNi (international) new? Channel 511. I have always enjoyed this channel when I travel, and had wished we got it. Looks like we do now!
