Thank You dosborne, my hands are tied somewhat and I felt unable to say that this was impossible, so I just hoped for a knowledgeable poster and there you are.

Thanks.

Not true, I currently have more than 6 receiver's registered to me, but only 6 active receiving programming. You can have more than 6 receivers registered, but only allowed to have 6 active. Two Bell CSR 's I have talked to have confirmed this. There is no limit of the number receivers that canbe registered to your name.

I'm looking at buying a used 6100 but noticed some of the sellers provide a smart card and some don't. Does the 6100 need one or not? I called Bell and the tech indicated I don't but he seemed unsure too. If the receiver needs a smart card can Bell send me one or is there some long drawn out process?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

It does to Bell. They figure that they allready "have you" and that you won't leave. Speak with your wallet.

Hmmm I had my receiver for sale. Someone has responded and wants to purchase it. Apparently he has called BEV to ask bout reactivating the receiver before my 30 days is up. And he claims they told him they would activate the receiver before my de-activating date?

Can this be done?

Follow up: I didn't realize but this can be done after talking to BEV. I just need to let BEV know that I sold the receiver. Of course I still have to pay for the rest of the cancelation period which is at 2 weeks now.

300$???The 6100 was worth 299$ when they were still in sales...

I know that you certainly can get more than the 70$ Bell is offering taught

I believe most of us do speak with our wallets,..

Pay our bills on time,

Wouldn't that justify some "perks" for upgrading/adding on?

Not sure if I just got some Bell tech that didn't really care, but he removed 2 of my receivers from my account that I had sold

...a 3rd, which is actually broken is still listed.

Why bother? Why risk causing problems formatting the disk (not that there should be any but you never know) and clearing everything.

Remove the password lock (this is really the only thing you should do - although EV can do this but it is a pain having to call), erase recorded material (or not) and be done with it. Let the new person erase timers and any remaining content. Maybe they missed those shows
