New Bell HD Packages (formerly titled: Bell HD Price Increase)

If you can select 4/10$ shouldn't you be able to get 3/10$.
Maybe if I talk to a CSR they can do this in their system

Unless it IS all a ploy to force you to take the Sports package

i only sub to sports pak 1, and the HD theme, i guess it's called. I remember getting these other channels (oasis etc) quite a while back when you had to phone in to add them for free so i'm a bit nervous they might try and remove them at the end of this month, we shall see what happens.

If you want to be technical, instead of paying for Sports 2, take the SD pick and pay $2.50 raptors and you have fulfilled the needs. for those raps die hard. So Sports 1 + Raps SD pick and pay, and you are on your way.... no war here just stating facts.

The price of pork has gone up even if you still have some bacon left over from last week.

That's IF you get the $62 option. Othwise, with the $52 option, you only get standard definition.

With the $62 package, you get all of the channels shown in the "Free HD Channels" section, plus you get to pick 4 out of 5 of the available HD theme packs. I beleive the Movie Network/Super Channel HD stations are only available to those who subscribe to those specific packages however (someone correct me if I'm wrong?)

Menzel, I may have been unclear. I did not have any HD channels before, I wanted to get the 4 for $10 but because I don't subscribe to sports, I would have had to pay $15 for 3 and not get the west feeds. I sent this coupon in and now I get them all inlcuding east/west feeds for $10 with $15/mnth rebate. I think I made out okay. If they add more channels to make it actually worth the new packages after my 6 months, I can always switch over.

No, all channels OTA will have to be DIGITAL. This does not mean they will be in high definition. They can be digital, but in SD (480) resolution.

I am getting my service hooked up on Friday. I am also getting Basic HD pack and I was quoted $ 10 for 4 HD theme packs. I was not told anything about having to subscribe for equivalent SD pack and pay extra. I chatted with two different CSRs at two different times

Despite 2007, ExpressVu HAS the most digital subscribers in all of Canada. You heard it,
"The leading DIGITAL TV provider across the country".

HD Packs are great!!
