    Fee HD channels

    I'm getting a HD receiver for Christmas to replace the current 4100 i have, and i did some searching but i cant really find a proper answer. My question is, what channels are Free hd Channels. From my understanding, theres an HD value pack thats $10 a month. I most like'y will get that added later, but im just curious as to what HD channels i will get when i Buy the new HD unit. Also, whats the best place to get it from, calling into bell or visiting a bell world?

    Thanks in advanced!

    Fee HD channels

    Lol i love this CSR's bias. *C currently markets 15 free hd channels. BEV has twice as many for $10 bucks. BEV doesnt have a bad deal at all especially if your new to HD and want to take the most in from the experience. I know *C has plans to move to 8spk which would create the possibility to add more HD channels as well. I'm not 100% sure if BEV was moving to MPEG4 or 8spk but I'm sure they have something in the works as well to expand their HD lineup.

    The biggest thing I dont like about BEV is contracts. I was looking to sign up with Bell a while back as my dad was with them and he wasnt under contract or anything b/c he was a customer before the era of contracts and TV came out. Anyways I felt *C was more risk free in the end because of no contracts and I'd suck it up to wait until a better HD line-up came out. Besides whatever you get on HD you basically get on SD anyways. Just not as great as a super sharp addicting picture.

    Every HD channel on BEV costs money, literally. You must subsribe to existing theme pack(s) that includes the channels you want in HD. Let's say you want TSN HD, then you must subscribe to "Sports 1" theme pack first since TSN is under this theme pack


    I hope this helps.

    No free HD you need to subscribe - if you are looking for free HD you may want to look at other carriers

    You are right...there are a few free HD channels without having to pay. CBC/CTV/SRC are free, including any free previews, and the preview channel on 829. So for $27, you can have all of that in the Digital Standard. Add $10 for the remaining HD channels for a total of $37.

    Your other option is Starchoice, which is $34 for the Bronze pack. That's pretty much like the Digital Standard, but with their collection of so-called free HD channels. Add another $5 for A&EHD and DiscoveryHD and you have a total of $39 for Basics and HD. Oh yeah, you get a clock on the front too.

    Just curious but why are you buying a HD receiver if your not going to subscribe to HD programming? Do you have a widescreen TV or getting one in the near future perhaps?
