No plan that we heard for new SD receivers, only the new HD receivers that we mention in the HD thread new BEV HD receivers 2007

I have HD as one of my themes and as I said RDS is something that I have grandfathered in for a dollar a month. I would have to have RDS as a theme under the new system.

Thanks for the reply though.

I hope BEVTechRep can answer my other question.

^you only have HD as a theme because of a billing screw up...HD was NEVER allowed to be chosen as a theme, but some reps didn't know what they were doing, and the old billing system technically allowed it to be done.

BEV will allow you to keep it, but it is something you were never supposed to get to begin with.

well, if you have had the same package for eight years, you haven't had many price increases on it...the rest of us just got a $4 increase.

You are considered new client after 6 months, not 90 days!

I tought this thread was about Legacy price increase, not contract term and policies

cccam -

My situation is similar to yours - and I've also been tempted to try Rogers. Only two things keeping me with BEV, for now :

1. I currently "rent" a 5900 for free ($10/month minus $10 credit per month).

2. I love the 30 second skip ahead button on my PVRs - and I understand there's no such button on the Rogers PVRs.

As for #1, my "free rental" is due to expire in December 2007. As for #2, maybe I just have to bit the bullet and live without the 30 sec skip?

This will all come to a head later this year when I get an HDTV set - I'll have to upgrade to something HD then. I'll consider myself a free agent, open to swaying by BEV or Rogers.

I was talking about Shaw Cable.

But for BEV you are correct it is 6 months.

Noelk....I agree...cost increases are a fact of life, I guess my rant is over what Bell does NOT do for existing long time customers.
PS..On ur PVR..I got a Pioneer 531 with HD and DVD buring capabilites..has 30 second skip and allows me to burn a progr to DVD that I like.
